The Southern Paws Animal Rescue 5K is a 5k event held on Saturday, May 9, 2026.
The 9/11 Heroes Run 5K welcomes runners, ruckers, and walkers of all ages and fitness levels to honor the heroes of 9/11 and those who've served our nations since. We activate & unite communities and empower local veterans, active duty, first responders, and families of the fallen.
TMF is proud to partner with GORUCK again with rucking divisions at every run. Rucking is a sport based on special forces training in which participants walk or run while carrying weighted rucksacks. All participants registered for the GORUCK division will earn this year's exclusive TMF GORUCK patch. Learn more about GORUCK here.
Join us for the 35th annual Isle of Palms Connector Run & Walk for the Child, one of the most scenic and meaningful races in the Lowcountry.
Starting on the Isle of Palms and crossing the iconic Connector into Mount Pleasant before returning to the island, runners enjoy breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, marshes, and local wildlife along the way. Choose from the 10K or 5K run or walk, open to participants of all ages and experience levels.
This race is 100% nonprofit, supporting local organizations dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and the healing of children and families in the Charleston area. Over the past 35 years, the race has given back more than $1.3 million to local charities, including a record $200,000 in 2025.
After the race, celebrate at our family-friendly post-race festival with live music, free beer (21+), a kids’ area, local vendors, cash prizes, and an awards ceremony.
Run for the kids. Race for the cause. Experience the Isle of Palms Connector Run.
