The Aden Perry Hero Event 5k
The Aden Perry Hero Event is a 5K run and walk held on 12/05/2026 at Markham Park in Sunrise, FL. The event welcomes two- and four-legged participants; dogs entered for awards must be registered with their human runners. The course is chip timed and takes place at Markham Park.
The event honors the life and legacy of Aden Perry and raises funds and supplies for the Aden Perry Good Samaritan and Scholarship Fund, a registered 501(c)(3). Organizers collect school supplies to donate to students in need around Aden’s birthday on December 11. Participants who bring a bag of supplies receive a raffle ticket for prize drawings, including a custom golf cart raffle prize.
Planned race amenities and awards include long-sleeved dri-wick race shirts, custom finisher medals for participants and registered dogs, and winner medals for overall and age-group places. In memory of an earlier winner, a college scholarship is awarded to the first-place overall male and female runners aged 15 to 19. Additional on-site features listed by the organizer include a dog water and treat station, bandanas for purchase, packet pick-up at Runner’s Depot Davie, CPR demonstrations by VidaMed, live music and performances, a national anthem performance, a Girl Scout color guard, silent auction and raffles, food vendors, post-race activities, and family-friendly attractions.
