About the Event

The 4th Annual Kindness Matters 5k and Fun Run lands on Jacksonville Beach, Florida on Saturday, 30 May 2026 at 9:00 AM EDT. Starting at the Seawalk Pavilion on Ocean Front North, this beachside event offers a 5K (9:00 AM) and a 1 Mile Fun Run (9:05 AM). Every stride supports a mission to end bullying and prevent childhood suicide—because kindness isn't just nice, it's lifesaving.
