Miles That Matter

For the first time ever, The Miami Foundation is hosting a 5K Race/Walk and Festival to celebrate generosity in Miami on November 16 starting at 7:30am.

We want every corner of our community to experience the joy of being a donor, so we’re consistently looking for new ways to reach new audiences to make giving during Give Miami Day greater every year. This year, we’re excited to partner with Miami’s growing running community for The Give Miami 5K and Festival! 100% of every participant’s registration fee goes toward Miami’s nonprofits, with the opportunity to choose to give to an issue area they care about (so all nonprofits within that category benefit) or directly to a nonprofit. Nonprofits registered for Give Miami Day are eligible to receive contributions through the Give Miami 5K Race.

With The Give Miami 5K and Festival, nonprofit organizations can now offer their supporters a new, experiential way to get involved in Give Miami Day, whether donors are lacing up their running shoes, inviting friends and family to experience Give Miami Day in a new way, providing matching dollars for every mile run, or cheering nonprofits on in the stands.

If you’re a nonprofit and want to learn more about how to engage your donors and supporters in The Give Miami 5K, view our virtual SET Session where we shared tips on how to engage donors through this experiential event.

How The Give Miami 5K Works

100% of every runner’s registration fee goes towards Miami’s nonprofits. Runners have the opportunity to donate to the issue area they care about the most, or route their registration fee directly to a particular nonprofit (you). If they choose your nonprofit, they become a part of your race group, and you can then see who is supporting you.
Nonprofits that are not registered to fundraise through Give Miami Day 2025 are ineligible to participate or receive donations from The Give Miami 5K.
Once a nonprofit has completed their Give Miami Day registration, it will take approximately 24 – 48 hours to set up a running team on The Give Miami Day 5K race registration page.
Nonprofits will receive the donations raised from The Give Miami 5K as part of their Give Miami Day payout. The amount raised will be reflected on their Give Miami Day profile on Give Miami Day (November 20, 2025).
