Steps for Healing 5K at Zoo Miami
Steps for Healing is a remembrance run and walk held on November 7, 2026 at Zoo Miami, 12400 SW 152 Street, Miami, FL 33177. The event offers both an in-person and a virtual option and supports the Children's Bereavement Center, which provides free grief support groups for children, teens, and adults in South Florida.
The in-person program includes a timed 5K run/walk, all-day admission to Zoo Miami, a race t-shirt (size not guaranteed for late registrations), free continental breakfast, a Kids Corner with activities and a kids' finish-line with medals, a live DJ, medals for top finishers, and a customizable fundraising page.
The virtual option allows participants to run or walk from any location during the race period. Virtual registrations include RaceJoy app tracking for time and results, a customizable digital race bib, a race-day t-shirt delivered after the event, memorial activities to add meaning to the effort, and a customizable fundraising page.
Registration fees vary by entry type and date; example fees in the event materials include early-bird pricing at $40, in-person supporting rates at $45, virtual registration at $40, and a listed day-of fee of $55. Reduced youth and child fees are available: $25 for students/youth (ages 7–22), $20 for children (ages 3–6), and free for children under 3. Partner and spectator rates are also noted in event materials.
Fundraising details state that raising $1,680 enables one child to attend the CBC's free grief support groups for a year. Volunteer roles are available with limited spots and community service hours for high school students; volunteers are required to complete a one-hour orientation on Zoom the week of the event.
