Join us for the 4th annual Call My Name 5K on February 22, 2026, that will honor predominantly Black convicted laborers—boys and men ages 14 to 67—whom Clemson College trustees leased from the state penitentiary to build the school between 1890 and 1914. With skilled labor they constructed the beautiful red brick buildings still standing today, including Sikes Hall, Tillman Hall/Old Main, Trustee House, and Hardin Hall. They also cleared land and constructed roads, sidewalks, and a dike that continue to serve the campus community.

Call My Name documents and shares the stories of African Americans in Clemson University history. The Call My Name 5K will tour the campus of Clemson while paying tribute to these stories. Learn more about Call My Name HERE.

Call My Name is a research project dedicated to telling the stories of Black men, women, and children throughout Clemson University’s history whose lives

and experiences have been largely overlooked in the University’s public history.

The Cupid Shuffle 5k Run/Walk on Saturday, February 13, 2027 is a great way to start your Valentines Day weekend. To keep registration prices low and maximize the philanthropic impact, we have decided to return to the beanie give-away this year, which will not be included in our very low-price the 14-under registration. There will, of course, be chocolate at the finish. Awards will be overall male and female as well as three deep in each age category. Race starts and finishes at Clemson Presbyterian Church and Gateway Park. Registrations received after January 15, 2027 will not be guaranteed swag.
- Registration fee is $25 for adults.
- Registration fee for ages 14 and under is $15.
Packet Pickup will be Friday, February 12, 2027 from 3:00pm to 6:00pm at 304 Old Greenville Hwy, Clemson, SC 29631 (First Citizens Bank). Packets will also be available the morning of the race.
