Moms' Run

Lace up for the 23rd annual Moms' Run on Saturday, May 9, 2026, a heartwarming event celebrating motherhood and supporting maternal mental health in Charleston, SC. Starting and finishing at Philip Simmons High School, this incredibly family-friendly race offers a choice of a spirited 5K run/walk or a leisurely 1-mile walk, ensuring everyone can participate. The course itself is renowned for being very stroller friendly, navigating the track and local roads while showcasing the natural beauty of the Lowcountry, with glimpses of lush landscapes. Expect typical race day conditions around 78F for highs and 67F for lows, with a minimal 9% chance of precipitation.

More than just a race, the Moms' Run creates a vibrant community atmosphere with pre- and post-race festivities, including a popular Kids Dash, a fun activity area complete with a photo booth, and a bubble dome. Participants will find a water station around mile two of the 5K course to stay hydrated. This event stands out for its meaningful cause, as all proceeds directly benefit Postpartum Support Charleston, aiding their mission to provide vital resources for local moms facing postpartum depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. Finishers are celebrated with beautiful flowers in honor of Mother's Day, alongside commemorative race t-shirts and finish line snacks, creating a truly memorable experience for all.
