CoastalLIFE 5K Run/Walk
The CoastalLIFE 5K Run/Walk returns for its third annual edition at Coastal Carolina University in Conway, South Carolina. This event takes place exclusively on the university campus and supports the CoastalLIFE (Learning Is For Everyone) program, a non-degree initiative for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The program focuses on academic instruction, career training, independent living, and community engagement.
Participants can choose from several event options:
- 5K Run/Walk
- 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk
- Run with Chauncey Kids' Dash
- Virtual 5K Option
The 5K Run/Walk is chip-timed, while the 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk and the Kids' Dash are self-timed. The event uses gun timing for overall awards and chip timing for age group awards. There are no water stops located directly on the course, though post-race water and snacks are provided. For safety and timing accuracy, animals, baby strollers, skateboards, and other wheeled devices are not permitted on the course.
All participants receive a race bib, a custom-designed medal, and a participant shirt while supplies last. Awards are presented for the 5K event only, covering overall male and female winners, masters categories, and various age groups from 10 and under to 80 and over. Online registration is required. Parking is available in designated campus lots, and restroom facilities are located outside the Indoor Practice Facility. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
