Join us for the Cocoa 5K - Saturday, February 7th

Join us for a fun-filled Cocoa 5K to benefit New Foundations Home for Children! Based in Anderson, New Foundations was founded in 1974 and serves foster and at-risk children and families throughout South Carolina. New Foundations offers in-home family preservation services, foster home services, and residential services, all to help children and families heal from trauma and other mental health challenges. New Foundations is a nationally accredited, nonprofit 501(c) (3) organization. We are committed to securing the future for children and families, whatever it takes!

The course is a timed event covering mostly paved paths throughout the Anderson Sports and Entertainment Center complex. This event is rain or shine but may be canceled in the event of severe weather, such as thunderstorms. Register by 1/30/26 to guarantee your shirt size. Registration ends 2/6 at 10AM.

We welcome and encourage all participants. Whether your goal is to race for first place or to enjoy time with friends or family, we would love to have you join in to support the children of New Foundations!

    It's a Fourth of July Celebration!

    If you think the only race that's happening on America's 249th Birthday weekend is seeing who's first to snag that second helping of BBQ or who can down that cold beverage the fastest, guess again! Before lifting a fork, diving off the back of your boat, and taking that post pool party snooze, hundreds of American's will start their holiday by joining forces and celebrating with other patriots at America's 5k! AND, if you are an American Hero, we want to honor you with a land of the FREE race bib! We're also celebrating the heat of elite runners, weekend warriors, mamma's with strollers and kids alike to join us for 3.1 miles of Birthday FUN! So, if you have a flair for costumed fun and are looking for a reason to feel guilt free about BBQ and lounging all day, feel like the stars and stripes are in your favor, and LOVE AMERICA -- make a like a firecracker and shoot on over to register today! As with all First Flight Alliance events, proceeds go to scholarship kids in the community to be

    active through our Operation Active Kids, OAK program.
