Good Samaritan 5K Run
The Good Samaritan 5K Run takes place on October 24, 2026 in Uptown Greenville, North Carolina, with the event base at 516 Cotanche St. It offers two event options:
- 5K
- Cross Training 5K
The standard 5K course begins in Uptown Greenville, passes the Town Commons, travels down 1st Street and back up 5th Street by East Carolina University, and finishes in Uptown. The course is USATF certified and has water at each mile marker.
The Cross Training 5K includes six workout stations located shortly before each mile split. Coaches from CrossFit Greenville and Rebel Fitness guide the stations. Stations require completion of specific exercises with multiple repetitions; weight exercises are adjusted by fitness level. Heats separate beginner, intermediate, and advanced cross training levels.
Proceeds benefit Hope of Glory Ministries, a 501(c)(3) community outreach ministry focused on assisting families in Pitt County. The 2025 impact report notes that the Community Co-op Program served 30 families and produced $106,574 in grocery savings; volunteers contributed 2,120 hours; families placed $196,081 into savings accounts.
Logistics include pre-registered race bag pickup on Friday, October 23 at Hope of Glory Ministries and race-day registration and check in at race headquarters at U.B.E. Race day parking is available in the public lot across from U.B.E., in parking decks, and on side streets; parking is not permitted in the U.B.E. parking lot.
All participants receive a moisture wicking race t-shirt; sizes are guaranteed for those pre-registered by September 20. Awards include prizes and medals for top overall finishers and age-group medals for designated categories in both event types. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
