About the race
The Flo-Town 5K Run/Walk is a certified 3.1 Miles running event held on April 24, 2027 at the City of Florence Regional Waste Water Management Facility, 1000 Stockade Drive, Florence SC 29506. The event is organized by the City of Florence Employee Wellness Program in partnership with the Florence Track Club and is part of the 2027 Pee Dee Grand Prix.
The course begins at the Waste Water Management Facility and connects to the Freedom Florence section of the Florence Trail System in East Florence. Participants follow a natural path through woods along Jeffries Creek, cross boardwalks and a boardwalk bridge over the southern wall of the Florence Stockade, pass the Freedom Florence pond, traverse an open broom straw field that once bordered guard posts and rifle pits, and return to trails near the old site of the Florence Stockade. The finish is adjacent to the facility and its newly completed LEED® Certified Administration and Laboratory Building, where showers and restrooms are available. Parking is available near the Administration Building.

T shirts are guaranteed for registrations received by 4/15/2027 and will be distributed on race day as available. Race packets and late on site registration are available the morning of the event. The event proceeds benefit the Florence Track Club.
