About This Event

Get ready to channel your inner warrior at the 5th Annual Rising Sun 5K, taking place on February 28, 2027, at the beautiful John Prince Park in Lake Worth, Florida. Hosted by the Kickstart Foundation, this unique event is more than just a race; it is a celebration of discipline and community. The Kickstart Foundation is a dedicated non-profit organization focused on empowering at-risk and underprivileged youth through the art of martial arts. By teaching core principles such as respect, focus, and perseverance, the foundation provides children with the essential life skills and self-esteem needed to succeed in school and beyond.

The event draws its inspiration from the Rising Sun, a powerful symbol often featured on flags and in traditional art to represent success, vitality, and the auspicious start of a new day. In the context of this 5K, it embodies the "rising" potential of every child the foundation serves. To truly bring this spirit to life, the race kicks off with an energizing karate-style warm-up. The excitement reaches its peak at the finish line, where every participant will have the exhilarating opportunity to break a board as they cross, symbolizing the personal obstacles they’ve overcome. Whether you are running for a personal best or walking for a great cause, your participation helps clear the path for the next generation of leaders.
