The 12th Annual Run for All Children is a family-friendly, race benefitting the patients and families at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. The starting line for this certified, chip timed 5K and 1-mile run will be in front of the main hospital, with a beautiful course along the downtown St Petersburg waterfront and ends back at Johns Hopkins All Children's where there will be a post-race Finish Line Fest. A kids' dash will take place near the finish line area. The inaugural race was held in 2014, born from founder Brian Powers’ desire to make a difference in the lives of children and their families after experiencing firsthand the positive impact offered by the dedicated staff and volunteers of a neonatal intensive care unit. The 12th annual Run for All Children will once again draw participants from throughout the region. All proceeds from the Run for All Children go to the areas of greatest need at All Children’s Hospital.
