14th Annual McKenzie's Run

The Boys and Girls Club of Northeast Florida hosts the 14th Annual McKenzie's Run at TPC Sawgrass on Saturday, November 18, 2023, at 8:30 a.m.

This annual family-friendly event kicks off with a spirited one-mile fun run at 8:30 a.m., followed by a 5K race at 9:00 a.m. Participants, whether running or walking, are treated to the beautiful route through TPC Sawgrass. All proceeds from McKenzie's Run support free after-school mentoring, tutoring, and special academic programs for children in Northeast Florida. After the event, participants and guests are welcomed to the Runner’s Village to enjoy food, music, face painting, photo ops, and worship with Eleven22.

In addition to benefitting the community, McKenzie's Run honors the life of McKenzie Noelle Wilson. Inspired by their daughter's giving spirit and willingness to serve others, McKenzie's parents established The McKenzie Noelle Wilson Foundation to help young people reach their full potential by creating a community focused on caring, giving, and growing. This annual 5K and one-mile fun run is just one of many ways the McKenzie Noelle Wilson Foundation is furthering its mission.
