The Run for Fathers 5K is an athletic event organized by the Upstate Fatherhood Coalition held in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The event takes place at Duncan Park and serves to raise awareness and support for disadvantaged fathers throughout Spartanburg County. The initiative focuses on the importance of fatherhood and seeks to provide resources and community encouragement to local families.

The course is located at Duncan Park, where the route is designed for both runners and walkers. Beyond the race itself, the event includes a community presence with local business vendors and fitness organizations. Local gyms and health clubs coordinate through a race ambassador to foster fitness connections within the city.
The event structure relies on community involvement, featuring various stations to support the participants. Volunteer operations are integrated into the race day to manage registration, check-in, and water stations along the route. Course marshals are positioned throughout the park to direct those on the course and ensure safety. Following the completion of the distance, the event includes an awards ceremony and refreshments. Provision is also made for local vendors to display services near the race area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
