PALM BEACH,, Fla.--The Kevin Babington Foundation (KBF) is calling all runners, riders, and changemakers to join the “Run for Kevin” 5K & 10K during the Palm Beaches Marathon Weekend, taking place Saturday, Dec. 13 along the stunning, palm-lined waterfront of West Palm Beach, Fla.
This unique event merges fitness, philanthropy, and community — giving participants the chance to run/walk for something far greater than the finish line.
Each entry purchased through KBFEvents.com directly supports the Foundation’s mission to empower equestrian athletes, inspire leadership through sport, and carry forward the legacy of perseverance and passion that defines Kevin Babington.
“The Run for Kevin is a celebration of spirit — the kind of unwavering drive that Kevin represents,” said Jeff Papows, Chairman of the Kevin Babington Foundation. “Every step taken on that course is a statement of solidarity, hope, and heart. We’re not just running a race — we’re continuing a movement.”
Runners can choose between two race distances — the 5K or the 10K — both held Saturday morning and designed for maximum fun, camaraderie, and purpose.
Participants will receive an official race entry, an exclusive KBF Hat and T-Shirt, and the opportunity to make a direct impact through donation tiers ranging from Standard to Rockstar.

The cost of spinal cord recovery has never been higher, and insurance rarely covers the extensive rehab, travel, equipment, and home modifications required for long-term recovery.
That’s where KBF steps in — and why fundraising efforts like Kevin’s Rockstars 2026 are more important than ever.
“The support has been incredible this year,” said Papows. “But as we go into the winter season, when equestrian sport is at its peak, continued fundraising is essential. Your support helps save lives — and we need you.”
🎟️ Tickets are now live for Kevin’s Rockstars Lip Sync & Fundraiser 2026.
