“Following a stellar debut in 2022, we are excited to announce the return of the Triple Play 5K,” said Sarah Martin, Miami Marlins Foundation Senior Director of Youth Academy and Foundation Programs. “This impactful event is a fun outing for the South Florida community, while also going a long way to elevate the importance of mental health and wellness and support the tremendous research of our partners at University of Miami Health System. We look forward to hosting runners, walkers, and families at loanDepot park for one of the most unique race experiences around!”
"We are delighted to partner with the Miami Marlins in our shared pursuit of raising awareness about brain health,” Dr. Jose G. Romano, MD, Interim Chair of Department of Neurology, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. “Now in its 2nd year, the Triple Play 5k not only serves as an incredible platform to educate the public but also enables us to foster a sense of community, support, and empowerment for individuals and their families affected by neurological conditions. Together, we can inspire positive change and make a significant impact in advancing research leading to future cures."
