Purple Iron 5K
The Purple Iron 5K is a community running event presented by the Sigma Alpha Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., scheduled for November 14, 2026, at Park TBD, 20901 NE 16th Ave, Miami, FL 33179. The event supports three defined missions: scholarships, Alzheimer and dementia awareness, and community wellness.
Organizers describe scholarships as investments in student futures, providing financial support for education. The event also emphasizes raising awareness of Alzheimer disease and dementia, including education and support for affected individuals, families, and caregivers. Community-focused activities aim to bring families, organizations, businesses, and neighbors together to promote health, fellowship, and local connection.
A virtual participation option is listed alongside the in-person 5K. Registration fees are shown for both the in-person race and virtual participation. Sponsorship opportunities are available for businesses and organizations that wish to support the event and connect with participants across South Florida.
Pre-registered participants are encouraged to pick up race packets the evening before the event at the Omega Activity Center, 15600 NW 42nd Avenue, Opa-locka, FL 33054. Race packets include the official event shirt, race bib, and additional items provided by the organizers. The event is planned to run rain or shine.
