Race for Lace 5K

We raised $65k that year. We had a huge crowd. We had so much support.

Fast forward 12 years & Cystic Fibrosis is a disease with a treatment and not a death sentence. All thanks to the Parents, Families and Friends of children diagnosed with Cystoc Fibrosis. They fought for a cure, developed their own foundation and discovered their own medications - just from grass roots fundraising.

When Race for Lace 5k was born, the life expectancy for CF kids was only early 20’s…in that short 15 years, these children are now healthy & living normal lives with a normal life expectancy.

2026 is our year to give thanks! A huge shout out and bring back for all those who helped us all those years!

(Editor's note: When I first read the report that appears in tomorrow's edition, I asked reporter Matthew Brown, "So they raised $65,000, not $6,500?" I asked twice, and he said yes twice. That is a BIG deal for a local event just in its fourth year! Hats off to the event organizers and all who participated.)

WOW!! Its been a while, but exciting news coming for 2026!

🚨For the first time EVER…

60% of people living with cystic fibrosis are adults.

This milestone is nothing short of historic — a reflection of groundbreaking treatments, dedicated researchers, tireless advocates, and you — our CF community.

What was once a childhood disease is now a lifelong journey — and we’re fighting to ensure that every person with CF has the opportunity to live a long, fulfilling life.

Together, we’re transforming what it means to live with CF. 💙

We have received many questions about the 2016 Race for Lace date and have waited to make the formal announcement. Sadly, we will not be having a race in the 2016 season. We know everyone looks forward to our event, but we also feel strongly about giving you the best race possible in the Crestview/North Okaloosa area! We have outgrown our current location, but we hope to see you all in the 2017 season with a new route & new venue somewhere in North Okaloosa County!
