Thank you for joining us last night! Reducing the 10K to a 5K was a difficult decision but the safety and well being of all involved is our #1 priority and is a responsibility that we take very seriously. Although everyone ran the same distance, the 10K was scored as it's own division and there were errors in our Awards scoring. We regret that several of the legitimate winners were not awarded last night and we have corrected the rankings. Awards will be mailed this week. Please accept our sincere apology. We thank you for supporting the mission of the Big Bill Foundation and we hope you'll join us again in the future.

Honoring the memory of Big Bill Robinson, the co-founder of Fit2Run, and father of President Parks Robinson, The Big Bill Foundation was founded in 2020.
Bill Robinson, who partnered with Manatee County in the late 2000s to turn 487 acres of rehabilitated farmland into the hiking trails and mangrove habitats in northwest Bradenton now known as Robinson Preserve, passed in 2020, following a hard-fought battle with leukemia at the age of 70. The Big Bill Foundation was created to honor the legacy of Bill, who loved running, surfing, going for long walks outdoors, and spending time with his family.
Bill was one of the original board members of the Suncoast Aquatic Nature Center Associates, SANCA, and served as chairman from 2014–18. He dedicated countless hours of service to make SANCA and Nathan Benderson Park a success.
Bill’s passion for sport, the community and his family was evident to anyone who spent time with him. Bill Robinson was a great leader and mentor, who had a natural gift to inspire and motivate.
The Big Bill Foundation has the privilege of providing scholarships to those who have battled with childhood cancer or life-threatening illnesses. To date, over $50,000 in scholarships have helped change the lives of those in need.
The 16th Annual Robinson Preserve Twilight 5K & 10K Presented by Conley Subaru is a fundraising event for the Big Bill Foundation and therefore, no refunds will be given. Thank you for your support!
