Everything but the shoes.
Real running socks, a bib belt, anti-chafe — the cheap upgrades that matter.
About this race
Start off 2027 on the right foot with a 5K at Charles Towne Landing State Park.
As you run or walk, enjoy the spectacular river, marsh views, and majestic oaks. Our course is a beautiful place to reflect on the past year and set goals for 2027.
After the 5K, we'll have soup, cornbread, and traditional Hoppin' John (vegetarian options included) indoors, where you can make memories with your family as well as new and old friends.
We will be recycling shirts and awards from various local events, and awards are five-year age groups, five places deep.
We know getting up on New Year's Day can be tough, so pajamas are welcome!
