Event details

The District Dash 5K is organized by the Beaufort County School District and takes place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Coligny Beach, Hilton Head Island, SC. The event is intended to promote exercise, wellness, and healthy habits across district schools. Participants may register under a school when signing up; families with students at more than one school may select multiple schools. The top three schools with the most overall race participation will receive wellness funding for their MUSC Wellness Program.

The event includes partnerships and programs aimed at schools: a Marathon Kids partnership that recognizes elementary students who log a full marathon (26.2 miles) during the 2025–26 school year, a Buddy Run/Walk opportunity for high school Buddy Clubs, and a beach clean-up option for high school community service involvement.
