Heartbeat for Jesus Charity 5K - Orlando
Heartbeat for Jesus is a Christian charity 5k held in Orlando on Saturday, November 7, 2026. The event combines running, faith, and community-focused activities and directs all race registration fees and donations to FCA at UCF. The beneficiary work includes putting Scripture into the hands of student-athletes and coaches, creating discipleship opportunities, and equipping the next generation to live out their faith on campus and beyond.
Race entries include a choice of a t-shirt or a hat, a finishers wooden cross medal, and age-group awards. The event also features a Christian business marketplace and encourages group participation to foster community among church groups and friends.
In the weeks before the race, Heartbeat for Jesus organizes meet-ups in October at Baldwin Park on Saturday mornings as part of collective training and fellowship. The organization offers a 40-day "Feet to Faith" training plan and other faith-based wellness programs that connect spiritual and physical health.
Heartbeat for Jesus, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. As a tax-exempt organization, donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Past editions of the event have included pre-race prayer, sideline encouragement, and Scriptures posted along the route to emphasize the spiritual dimension of the experience.
