Me Strong

The ME STRONG 5K is an annual running and walking event held in DeLand, Florida, with its 15th edition scheduled for January 31, 2026. The race takes place on E. Indiana Avenue, near the historic county courthouse, and is organized in partnership with Florida Cancer Specialists Foundation and West Volusia Rotary Clubs.

This community-focused event raises funds to support local individuals undergoing cancer treatment, with all sponsorship donations and race proceeds dedicated to easing financial burdens such as household bills.
