Hair Peace and Hope 5K Run/Walk

Hair Peace and Hope 5K Run/Walk takes place on October 24, 2026 at Miramar Regional Park in Miramar, Florida, with both the 5K run and the 5K walk starting at 7:30 a.m. The annual event is organized by Women of H.O.P.E., which provides support and resources to people facing autoimmune disease. It honors those affected and raises money for hair prostheses for people dealing with hair loss. Entrants receive a race shirt and a finisher medal while supplies last.

Both options share one distance, so the choice is really about effort: race it as a hard 20-to-30-minute 5K, or walk it as a steady hour. If you want to race, add one weekly session of faster running — five repetitions of three minutes at a hard but controlled effort works well — on top of three easy runs. If you plan to walk, build toward one 45-minute walk a week and the distance takes care of itself.
