    The Adult race takes you on a 3.5-mile trail run where you will be running where horses still roam, watch out for those horse pies 😊. Then its off to the mountain bike trail course with plenty of climbing and drops to make you feel as if you are riding on a bronco. Once on the trail you will do two loops equally 8 miles for total distance of 9. Finish with a 1.5 mile out and back dash through a wooded area along the trails of Croft.

    The Youth race will begin on the 1-mile nature trail flowing through mixed pine and hardwood trees and wind along the Fairforest creek.

    Join us for our 2nd annual Disability Awareness Walk & Roll Walk/Run event in the beautiful Upstate of South Carolina! This empowering event is dedicated to promoting disability awareness while making a lasting impact in our community. By participating, walkers, donors and sponsors will not only contribute to a meaningful cause but also enjoy significant benefits.

    Funds raised will support the transformative programs of SonShine Club, helping to improve the lives of those with disabilities and special needs. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will empower participants to make a difference by directing funds to the top three fundraisers’ chosen nonprofits.

    Join us in stepping toward a more inclusive future, and let’s make a positive change together!

    All are welcome to this community event—come walk and roll with us! The course will be an approximate 1 mile walk through Barnet Park, with events and music at each turn. In addition to the race, there will be a Vendor Fair, food trucks, and activities for all ages.

    FUNDRAISING AWARDS - Not only will the top 3 fundraisers get bragging rights and prizes, but they will each get to choose a disability/special needs non profit to donate a portion of their funds raised to. The more you raise, the bigger impact you will have.

    LARGEST TEAM AWARD - The team with the most registered members will win the Largest Team Award. Call everyone you know and have them register to claim this prize!

    TEAM SPIRIT AWARD - The Team Spirit Award will recognize the team that creates awareness for the cause based on costumes, team name, t-shirts, props, enthusiasm, songs, chants, etc. Have fun and be creative, and maybe you'll go home with bragging rights!

    CALCULATIONS & DEADLINES - Just a reminder, prizes and awards are based on team donations only, not registration fees. Awards are based on team totals as of Friday, April March 20th, at 10am.

    Disability awareness is more than just a campaign—it’s a movement that shifts perspectives and fosters inclusion. What if we focused on celebrating abilities instead of limitations? By working together, we can create a world where everyone’s strengths are recognized and valued. Get registered and make a difference on March 21st!

    Whether you're walking, rolling, donating, or volunteering, your support directly impacts special needs families served by the SonShine Club and other Upstate non-profits. Sign up today, we can't wait to see you there!

    Lace-up those sneakers and get ready for an unforgettable adventure at the Fall Red Horse Inn Run/Walk! This isn't just any old run—this is a journey full of surprises, with twists, turns, and a couple of cheeky hills that'll either keep you on your toes or give you a fun little tumble! We’re talking enchanting dirt trails, crunchy gravel, and plenty of well-placed markers to guide you through the fun. Spoiler alert: this course is no walk in the park!

    Forget about the stopwatch—this event is all about the joy of the journey, not how fast you can race through it. Whether you jog, walk, or prance your way through, the goal is to have a blast and make memories.

    And the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line! Celebrate your accomplishment with your choice of victory libations—a refreshing beer or a classy glass of wine (1 house wine or beer included with registration). Plus, because adventures are always better with friends, well-behaved pups on a leash are welcome to join in on the fun, making it a paw-some experience for all! Just remember, this shindig is strictly for the 21+ crowd.

    Mark Your Calendars!
