Good Samaritan 5K Run
The Good Samaritan event on October 24, 2026 in Uptown Greenville, North Carolina offers a standard 5K and a Cross Training 5K. The route begins on Evans Street near The Scullery, goes toward the Town Commons, travels down 1st Street, returns up 5th Street, passes East Carolina University, and finishes back in Uptown. The course is USATF certified.
The Cross Training 5K includes six stations located shortly before each mile split. Coaches from CrossFit Greenville and Rebel Fitness guide the stations. Each station requires completion of specific exercises with multiple repetitions; weight exercises are adjusted according to fitness and weight. Heats are used to separate beginner, intermediate, and advanced cross training levels. Water is supplied at each mile marker.
All participants receive a moisture wicking race t shirt. Participants who pre registered by September 20 are guaranteed their shirt size. Fee categories listed for the event include an early bird rate, standard adult and cross training rates, a youth rate for ages 6 to 12, and free entry for children under 6.
Awards are given in each event with prizes and medals for the top three overall male and female finishers and medals for top age group finishers in the specified age brackets. Proceeds support Hope of Glory Ministries and its Community Food Co op program and outreach; the organizer reports 2025 impact figures for served families, mentor hours, volunteer hours, savings and debt relief.
