Girls on the Run Upstate South Carolina 5K Celebration

Girls on the Run Upstate South Carolina holds a seasonal 5K celebration on November 14, 2026, at BridgeWay Station (1000 Via Corso Ave., Simpsonville, SC 29681). The event marks the close of the program season and gives participants a tangible sense of accomplishment.

The course is a 5K (3.1 miles) on paved surfaces and is described as accessible for people with disabilities. The event is non-competitive and not officially timed; participants may walk, run, push, or roll at their own pace. Strollers are allowed. Teams begin the course one at a time in the order they are set up. Program participants and coaches are already registered through the council and receive a commemorative medal.

Registration is offered in price tiers: early bird, general, late, and in-person, with later registrations not guaranteed a t-shirt. All liability waivers are included in registration. The council notes that registered 5K Buddies and community participants receive a swag bag and a t-shirt if registered by the April 10 deadline.

Safety measures include required race bibs, an assigned running buddy system, course monitoring and head counts, restricted access to confidential information, and a safety plan that trains staff and volunteers. Pre-5K activities listed for the event include Happy Hair, Bling Your Bib, a dance party, and warm-ups. Volunteers fill roles such as packet pick up, course monitoring, water station, parking, and more; certain volunteer roles may require a background check.
