Legends Never Die 5K

The Legends Never Die Run, hosted by the Madeira Beach Fire Department, aims to raise awareness for mental health, PTSD, and suicide prevention among first responders, veterans, and military personnel. Initiated to honor individuals like Firefighter Emilio Rivera and Marine Col. Jim Turner, the event provides support and community solidarity. Proceeds from the event benefit The Franciscan Center's First Responders Post Trauma Training Program. The department promotes awareness and education for mitigating trauma-related stress. Participants enjoy beach-side running and award opportunities, while free registration is offered for children. Together, they combat stigma and offer vital resources and support.
