2026 Pink & Blue 5K

The Greater North Central Florida Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. is hosting its 2nd Annual 5K Run & Walk. In addition to the Jack and Jill Foundation, a portion of the proceeds from this event will support youth literacy development through the non-profit organization, Kut Different—a youth mentorship program. Kut Different provides mentorship to adolescent boys by giving them access to the tools they need to define and achieve their own versions of success. By providing structure, encouragement, and support, Kut Different ensures that every young man they serve has a path to thrive. There are 3 ways to participate in this event:

PINK & BLUE RUN/WALK: Join us in person at Depot Park for the 5K Run & Walk

VIRTUAL RUN/WALK: Virtual attendees can register online and complete their walk or run any time leading up to the February 2nd event.

FUN RUN: Children ages 10 and under can join our Fun Run! Children who participate in the Fun Run do not pay a registration fee to participate, but are required to secure sponsors for each .25K they run or walk. Sponsorships should be documented on this Sponsor Form. Participants' distance will be certified, and they should communicate their distance to sponsors on February 2nd. All sponsorship contributions should be submitted by February 15th via the GiveEffect website. Alternatively, payments can be made to the child's parent, who will make out a check to the chapter or foundation.
