Community Resurrection Run

Lace up your running shoes for the Community Resurrection Run, a heartwarming 5K event set to take place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in the charming town of Batesburg-Leesville, SC. This race offers a unique blend of community spirit and a rewarding challenge for runners and walkers of all abilities. The USATF certified 5K course is predominantly flat and follows an out-n-back route, starting and finishing at Bethlehem Baptist Church on 607 South Bethlehem Road.

More than just a race, the Community Resurrection Run is a vibrant community celebration. Proceeds from the event directly support local community outreach initiatives, allowing participants to contribute to a greater cause while enjoying their run. Runners can look forward to a lively atmosphere complete with worship music and a post-race Kids Party and Easter Egg Hunt, making it a perfect outing for the whole family. Leashed dogs are also welcome to join in the fun, adding to the inclusive and friendly vibe.

Runners can pick up their packets and register late on race day at Bethlehem Baptist Church between 8:30 AM and 9:30 AM, with a "Wake-up Station" offering coffee at 9 AM to get everyone energized for the 10:00 AM shotgun start. Following the race, a "Recovery Station" will be available, leading into the awards ceremony and worship at 11 AM. Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 73°F and lows around 45°F, with a low 13% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a memorable 5K experience.
