Lace up your running shoes for the Special Steps 5k, an inspiring event set to take place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in the charming city of Kingsland, GA. This chip-timed 5K run/walk welcomes participants of all ages and abilities, making it the perfect opportunity for seasoned runners, casual walkers, and families to come together for a great cause. Starting and finishing at Chris Gilman Stadium at 1050 Wildcat Dr., the course is designed to be accessible, ensuring everyone can enjoy their journey to the finish line.

The Special Steps 5k is more than just a race; it's the fifth annual celebration and fundraiser for Camden Special Steps, a non-profit dedicated to empowering local adults with exceptional needs through a variety of engaging creative, athletic, and skill-building pursuits. Participants can expect a supportive and vibrant atmosphere that embodies the spirit of community and inclusivity. Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 76°F and lows near 57°F, with only a 10% chance of rain, promising enjoyable weather for your effort. Water stations will be conveniently located on the course and at the finish line to keep you hydrated.

All participants will receive a race shirt and a drawstring backpack goodie bag to commemorate their involvement. Competitive runners will vie for overall awards, including personalized shoe fittings, gift cards, and sunglasses from Game Changers Running Company, while age group awards are presented in 10-year intervals. There's even special recognition for the largest team, encouraging groups to run together and amplify their support for this meaningful cause. Join the Kingsland community for a memorable 5K that truly makes a difference.
