From the Organizer
💚 5th Annual Bailey’s Heart & Sole 5K-Run/Walk
On Sunday, October 25, 2026, join Bailey’s Heart & Soul Foundation for the 5th Annual Bailey’s Heart & Sole 5K- Run/Walk in memory of Bailey Bullock.
Five Years. One Legacy. One Starting Line.
What began as a community coming together to remember Bailey has grown into a movement of awareness, preparedness, and action. This year, we want YOU at the starting line for our biggest and most impactful 5K yet!
Whether you run, walk, bring the family, or build a team—there's a place for you.
Race morning will kick off with an energetic warm-up followed by our timed 5K Run/Walk. After crossing the finish line, enjoy refreshments, cheer on fellow participants, and stay for our annual group photo and awards.
💚 THIS IS FOR BAILEY.
Bailey Bullock was just 16 years old when he passed away suddenly on May 12, 2021, after experiencing Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Bailey was a son, brother, friend, teammate, classmate, student, and athlete at The John Carroll School. He loved football, basketball, track, technology, volunteering, his friends, and most of all, his family.
His life ended at 16. His impact did not.
In the five years since Bailey's passing, his story has helped inspire a movement. Young hearts have been screened, hundreds have received CPR/AED training, thousands have been reached through education and awareness, and advocacy helped turn Bailey's legacy into action through the Bailey Bullock Act, strengthening cardiac emergency preparedness in Maryland schools.
AND WE'RE NOT FINISHED.
Proceeds from this 5K help support youth heart screenings, CPR/AED education and training, Sudden Cardiac Arrest awareness, and cardiac emergency preparedness.
💚 THIS YEAR, DON'T COME ALONE.
BUILD YOUR TEAM FOR BAILEY!
Bring your family, coworkers, church, school, teammates, or running crew. Pick a team name. Rally your people. And let's see who can build the BIGGEST TEAM FOR BAILEY!
You don't have to be a runner.
Walk it. Run it. Bring the family. Just come.
REGISTER. BUILD YOUR TEAM. MEET US AT THE STARTING LINE.
Every Second Counts.™
