Event Description

2024 marks the 12th Annual Run 4 Life 5K hosted by Life Alliance Organ Recovery Agency at the University of Miami to benefit organ, eye and tissue donation.  To continue the tradition from 2022, the event will be hosted at Zoo Miami.  All participants will be gifted with a free day at Zoo Miami, upon completion of the Run 4 Life 5K.  The Run 4 Life 5K is for runners, walkers, and the entire family to honor the lives of organ, eye and tissue donors, celebrate the lives of recipients, and recognize those waiting for a lifesaving transplant.   The day will be spent with the beautiful animals in Zoo Miami.  The 5K will run through the zoo, with only you and the animals.
