OCWC Charity 5K & Fun Run

Lace up your running shoes for the OCWC Charity 5K & Fun Run, a vibrant and family-friendly event taking place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in the charming coastal town of St. Marys, GA. This popular race, now in its third year, offers both a timed 5K run/walk and an accessible 1-mile loop, ensuring a distance for every age and fitness level. Starting and finishing at The Green Room Sicilian Cafe and Deli, the 5K course promises a picturesque journey winding through the scenic east side of Osprey Cove, while the 1-mile Fun Run takes participants down Fairways Edge in Osprey Cove.

Runners and walkers will appreciate the relatively flat terrain, with St. Marys boasting an average elevation of just 10 feet, making for an enjoyable experience. Beyond the beautiful scenery, the OCWC Charity 5K stands out for its heartfelt mission, supporting three vital local charities: Project K9 Services, Mothers of Veteran Suicide, and The Methodist Home for Children and Youth. Participants are encouraged to embrace the festive atmosphere by wearing their favorite football team jersey, adding a fun, unique touch to race day. Typical race day conditions in early February present pleasant weather, with highs around 64°F and lows around 44°F, alongside a low 11% chance of precipitation.

Join the community for a day of fitness, friendship, and impactful giving. Whether you're aiming for a personal best in the 5K or enjoying a leisurely stroll with family in the 1-mile Fun Run, your participation directly benefits meaningful causes in the St. Marys area. All 5K participants receive a commemorative T-shirt, and every entry secures an automatic spot in exciting raffles, making this more than just a race—it's a celebration of community spirit.
