9/11 25th Anniversary Memorial 5K Run/Walk
The Bluffton Firefighter Foundation, in partnership with Palmetto Running Company, is organizing a Memorial 5K in Bluffton, South Carolina, on September 12, 2026. The event marks the 25th anniversary of September 11 and is presented as a remembrance and tribute to those affected by that day.
Proceeds from the event will go to the Firefighter Emergency Fund, which provides direct support to local firefighters and their families during times of injury, illness, and unexpected hardship.

- 5K for adults

- 5K for kids 12 and under
- 400 meter fun run for kids 8 and under
