Event Overview
The Miles for Michael 5.12K Run/Walk and Children’s Dash is an annual memorial event taking place in Charleston, South Carolina, on May 17, 2026. The event honors Michael W Leibowitz, a fixture in the local running community. Proceeds support charitable causes through the Michael W Leibowitz Family Fund.
Event Details
The primary event is a 5.12K run or walk. The unique distance was chosen to honor Michael's birthday on May 12 and his affinity for being different with measurements. The event is not officially timed. The event includes three options:
- Miles for Michael 5.12K Run/Walk
- Virtual Miles for Michael 5.12K Run/Walk
- Miles for Michael Children's Dash
The Children's Dash is scheduled for an earlier start time than the 5.12K. Dogs are not permitted on the racecourse due to insurance and liability concerns.
Location and Logistics
The event starts and finishes at the Charles Towne Landing Visitor's Center, located at 1500 Old Towne Rd in Charleston. Participants receive an unisex t-shirt as finisher's swag. To guarantee a desired shirt size, registration must be completed by April 25, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
