True Heart ASL 5k Fitness Festival : Opa Locka, FL
The True Heart ASL 5k Fitness Festival takes place on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at 15600 W Bunche Park Drive in Opa Locka, Florida. The event brings together Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and hearing communities with a focus on connection, accessibility, and inclusion.
Program elements include a 5K road race, games and team activities such as dodgeball and Squid Game, an obstacle course, and ASL themed activities including charades and learning stations. Roads will be blocked for the 5K on 22nd Street up to the Miami Dolphins stadium. Music, food, and community vendors will be on site.
Awards and prizes are offered at both the team and individual levels. Individual male and female finishers receive gold, silver, and bronze medals. A raffle provides grand prizes for teams and other entrants; advertised raffle prizes include a car and an all inclusive vacation to the Dominican Republic. Raffle entries are listed at $10 and the site notes a price increase after January 16, 2026.
The festival frames the 5K and accompanying activities as opportunities to raise awareness about Deaf culture and to provide interactive ASL experiences alongside typical race day services and vendors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
