This year’s race is
wherever you want!!!
Due to local restrictions, and out of respect for our family & friends, we are only holding this race VIRTUALLY in 2020. We understand that some of you look forward to gathering in person for this very special event and we’re truly sorry we cannot convene in public.
Please take lots of photos and submit video clips to be included in this years Virtual Race video recap. We thank you for your continued support, especially given these unexpected times.

ABOUT CRISTIAN
Cristian’s Big Heart 5k celebrates the life of Cristian Acosta-Flores who passed away on September 1, 2014, one day shy of his 19th birthday. Cristian’s life was cut tragically short due to complications from an undiagnosed enlarged heart.
The name “Cristian’s Big Heart 5k” sheds light on this important health issue but also reminds his friends and family of the way Cristian loved and lived. His Big Heart always lent a hand, encouraged others, and cared deeply for those around him. And when you ask people how they remember Cristian they will say:
“We remember Cristian for always giving and making people laugh.”
