Joanna Sophia 5K Fun Run/Walk - Flushing, NY
The Joanna Sophia Foundation hosts an annual 5 km fun run and walk in Flushing, New York, taking place on Saturday, June 20, 2026. The event combines a timed course with cultural programming along the route and a festival at the finish. Participants pass through a course accompanied by music, live performances, and cultural celebrations representing communities from around the world. The finish area features entertainment, food and family-friendly activities.
The run supports the foundation’s work to raise awareness about epilepsy and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), and it honors the foundation’s namesake. Registration for the New York event is open. Shirt sizes are not guaranteed and final shirt pick-up is offered the morning of the event; participants must wear the event shirt and bib as their admission ticket. Parking is limited in the area, so attendees should allow extra time for arrival; lockers are not provided and personal items must be kept by participants. The foundation also stages a related 5 km event in Paphos, Cyprus, which includes inflatables and post-run food and entertainment in a central square.
