Be the Buffalo Memorial Run

The Be the Buffalo Memorial Run is an annual community athletic event held in Lexington, South Carolina. The race takes place at the Lexington County Baseball Complex and serves as a tribute to local runners Dianne Sullivan Wells and Edith Edy Pearson.

The event features a 5K distance that is open to both runners and walkers. Participants follow a course starting at the baseball complex, with professional timing services provided by SVE Timing East. The registration for the event is open to the general public without specific qualification requirements.

The mission of the race is centered on the concept of facing challenges collectively, using the buffalo's behavior of heading into storms as a metaphor for community support. Each year, the organizers select a local charitable cause to receive a portion of the proceeds from the entry fees. For the upcoming cycle, the event supports the family of a local elementary school secretary. The race aims to maintain the legacy of the individuals it honors while providing financial assistance to those in need within the Lexington community.
