Light the Way 5K - Charleston
Children's Therapy Clinic presents the 10th Annual Light the Way 5K on December 5, 2026, in downtown Charleston at 177 Summers Street, Charleston, WV 25301. The event is an evening walk and run that follows streets decorated with Christmas lights and includes seasonal activities.
Participants can expect hot chocolate, caroling, and multiple costume-related contests, including Ugly Sweater, Most Creative Team Theme, and Best Costume. Registration includes a commemorative race shirt, which is guaranteed for registrations received by Monday, November 16, and a race light. Packet pick up date and location are to be announced. Check-in and race day registration will be available.
The fee structure notes a registration fee of $30.00 and lists $30.00 before November 1 and $35.00 thereafter. There is a fundraising option: participants who raise $100 by November 16 are eligible for a $30 registration fee refund; the registration process includes an option to become a fundraiser on the donation page.
The event offers both a timed 5K run and a 5K walk as separate entries. Other logistical details such as packet pick up specifics and any additional race-day provisions are pending announcement. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
