Lace up for the 3rd Annual CoastalLIFE 5K Run/Walk on Sunday, March 29, 2026, a vibrant community event hosted on the picturesque campus of Coastal Carolina University in Conway, South Carolina. This chip-timed 5K offers a unique opportunity to challenge yourself while supporting a truly impactful cause: the CoastalLIFE program, which provides vital educational opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Runners and walkers are warmly welcomed to traverse the university grounds, embracing a course designed for a fantastic day of fitness and camaraderie.

Participants can anticipate typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 68°F and lows near 48°F, accompanied by a low 12% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a springtime race. The scenic route, exclusively within Coastal Carolina University, promises a unique campus experience. While there will be no water stops directly on the 5K course, post-race refreshments and water will be available to help you refuel and celebrate your achievement.

Beyond the 5K, the event includes a self-timed 1 Mile Fun Run and the delightful Run with Chauncey Kids' Dash, making it a perfect outing for the entire family. Every participant receives a custom-designed medal, a race bib, and a participant shirt while supplies last. The CoastalLIFE 5K embodies a spirit of inclusivity and community, fostering an uplifting atmosphere where every step taken helps to support invaluable educational programs.
