Springfield Charity 5K

Lace up for a meaningful morning at the Springfield Charity 5K, set to take place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, in Fort Mill, SC. This family-friendly event welcomes runners, walkers, and strollers of all ages to enjoy a timed 5K through the picturesque Springfield neighborhood. The course, while not requiring street closures, will be clearly marked with vibrant cones and signs, and enthusiastic volunteers will be stationed throughout to guide and cheer on participants. All proceeds from the race directly benefit vulnerable populations served by Big Hearts Big Family and the Children's Attention Home, with Achieve Balance Therapy generously matching up to $5,000 in race day donations.

Beyond the opportunity to support a vital cause, the Springfield Charity 5K promises a lively and rewarding experience. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable highs around 79°F and lows around 56°F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather. The start and finish lines are conveniently located at the Springfield Amenity Center, 420 Horton Grove Road, Fort Mill, SC 29715.

Crossing the finish line marks the beginning of an exciting post-race celebration. Participants can look forward to age-group prizes, raffle drawings, and a delightful spread of refreshments including donuts, hot chocolate, coffee, and mimosas. There will even be a special Mother's Day treat, adding to the festive atmosphere of this impactful community event.
