The Pink Walk & Timed 5K Fun Run

Lace up for a meaningful morning at The Pink Walk & Timed 5K Fun Run, taking place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in Anderson, SC. This annual event offers a chip-timed 5K for runners and a supportive walk for all, making it an ideal experience for athletes and families alike. The course winds through the scenic Anderson University campus and surrounding neighborhoods, concluding on Spero Financial Field. With two water stops along the way, participants can expect a well-supported journey, and the route is notably suitable for strollers, suggesting a generally flat or gently rolling terrain.

What truly sets this 5K apart is its powerful mission: every step taken helps fund life-saving cancer research grants impacting women through Play4Kay, part of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. Participants are encouraged to run or walk in honor or memory of a loved one impacted by cancer, with opportunities to submit their stories for recognition during the post-race ceremony. Typical race day conditions in early February bring comfortable highs around 56F and lows near 34F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, providing pleasant weather for a spirited event.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply walking to show your support, The Pink Walk & Timed 5K Fun Run promises an inspiring and community-focused atmosphere. Day-of packet pick-up begins at 7:00 AM at the Abney Athletic Center, with the 5K starting promptly at 8:00 AM. Join fellow runners and walkers in making a tangible difference in the fight against cancer.
