    Farrah Turner Foundation 5K

    Join us on Saturday, April 11, 2026, for the 7th Annual Farrah Turner Foundation 5K, a heartfelt event honoring the life and legacy of Investigator Farrah Turner. Farrah’s courage and devotion to protecting her community left an indelible mark on Florence, South Carolina, and beyond. This event is a chance to unite in remembrance, celebrate her legacy, and support the mission she inspired: to protect and serve children who are victims of sexual assault.

    The Story Behind the Race

    On October 3, 2018, our small community was shaken when Investigator Farrah Turner and six other officers were ambushed in Florence, SC. Farrah’s bravery and tenacity were evident as she fought for her life for 19 days before passing away on October 22, 2018. To honor her memory, the Farrah Turner Foundation was established to carry forward her passion for helping children in need.

    Every step you take in this race supports the foundation’s mission to create a brighter future for children who have faced unimaginable hardships.

    Why Participate?

    This is more than a race; it’s a movement. Together, we can honor Farrah’s incredible sacrifice and support a cause that uplifts the most vulnerable in our community. Your participation directly contributes to the Farrah Turner Foundation’s mission of helping children who are survivors of sexual assault.

    Let’s run, walk, and fly to the finish line in Farrah’s memory. Spread the word using #FlyWithFarrah and help us make this year’s event unforgettable.

    The City of Florence Employee Wellness Program and Florence Track Club have partnered to bring you the 11th Annual Flo-Town 5K Run/Walk. The certified course will begin at the City's Waste Water Management Facility quickly accessing the Florence Trail System's Freedom Florence Connections. These trails, located in East Florence, make up approximately 8 miles of the City's Trail system. The course is comprised of natural beauty and history adjacent to the tranquil Jeffries Creek and the Florence Stockade. The Stockade and neighboring National Cemetery developed during the Civil War, and veterans from all wars since that time have been, and are still being, interred here.

    Runners and walkers will follow a natural path that winds through the woods adjacent to Jeffries Creek, across boardwalks, around the Freedom Florence pond, and return to trails near the old site of the Florence Stockade. Participants will cross a boardwalk bridge that passes over the southern wall of the stockade. The trail enters an area that was once a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp for Union soldiers during the American Civil War. The trail connects to an open broom straw field that served as an area for bordering guard posts and rifle pits during the war. Participants will follow the trail around the outer edge of this field and finish at the adjacent Waste Water Management Facility. At this newly completed LEED® Certified Administration & Laboratory Building, participants will have access to showers and restrooms. The Flo-Town 5K Event offers runners and walkers a trek through history and the enjoyment of the landscape inherent to the Pee Dee along the wetlands of Jeffries Creek -

    definitely, a 5K event you don't want to miss!

    This race is RAIN or SHINE!!
