Good Samaritan 5K Run
The Good Samaritan event on October 24, 2026 is a community fundraiser held in Uptown Greenville, North Carolina, with event headquarters near 516 Cotanche St. and a course that runs by East Carolina University. The event is organized to benefit Hope of Glory Ministries.
Participants may choose a standard 5K or the Cross Training 5K. The Cross Training option includes six coaching-guided stations placed shortly before each mile split; stations require completion of specific exercises with multiple repetitions and weights adjusted to fitness and weight requirements. Heats separate beginner, intermediate, and advanced cross training levels.
The course begins in Uptown Greenville, proceeds toward the Town Common, travels down 1st Street, returns up 5th Street, runs by East Carolina University, and finishes back in Uptown. Water is provided at each mile marker and the course is USATF certified.
Registration and fees vary by entry type and time. Early bird adult registration is listed at $20 during the early registration window. Other posted fees include higher pre-registration and race-day rates for the 5K and Cross Training 5K, a youth fee for ages 6–12, and free entry for children under 6. Pre-registered race bag pickup is offered the day before the race at Hope of Glory Ministries. T-shirt sizes are guaranteed for participants who pre-registered by September 20.
Awards are given to top overall finishers and to age-group top finishers in both the 5K and Cross Training divisions. Proceeds support Hope of Glory Ministries and its community programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
