Project Refresh Inc. "Beat The Heat" 5K/10K/Fun Run

Get ready to conquer the summer swelter at the Project Refresh Inc. "Beat The Heat" 5K/10K/Fun Run on June 20, 2026, in scenic North Augusta, South Carolina. This invigorating event kicks off and concludes at the Hammonds Ferry Soccer Complex, taking participants along the beautiful North Augusta Greeneway. Runners can anticipate a generally flat course, often shaded by a canopy of trees, offering a refreshing natural setting for all distances: a challenging 10K, a popular 5K, and an enjoyable 1K Fun Run for all ages. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 93°F and lows around 73°F, with a 15% chance of precipitation.

What truly sets this race apart are the strategically placed soaking stations throughout the course, where enthusiastic volunteers are armed with water blasters to help runners stay cool and "refreshed" as they push towards the finish line. This unique approach directly addresses the "Beat The Heat" theme, ensuring a fun and supported experience even on a warm day. Beyond the refreshing splashes, the race fosters a vibrant community atmosphere, culminating in an awards ceremony and delicious food options available for purchase back at the soccer complex.

More than just a race, your participation supports the vital mission of Project Refresh Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to providing essential mobile shower services to individuals experiencing homelessness in the CSRA. This event has a history of success, praised for its organization and its ability to offer real relief from the summer heat while supporting a worthy cause. Join fellow runners for a day of fitness, camaraderie, and the chance to contribute to a deeply meaningful community initiative.
