Veterans Day 5K Fun Run/Walk at Hampton Park

Join us on November 14 at 9 AM for our Veterans Day Fun Run/Walk in Hampton Park, Charleston, SC!

All registrants will receive BOTH a long sleeve SHIRT and a MEDAL commemorating the event. 

 We will probably set up a time and place for picking up t-shirts and bibs on the day before the run:  Friday, Nov. 13.  Information about the packet pick-up will be posted on this website, and emailed to registered participants, before Nov. 1.  When you’re at the packet pick-up, can pick up these items for yourself, your team members, your friends, your family, and others.  THERE WILL BE NO PACKET PICK UP ON THE DAY OF THE RACE.  If you are traveling from out of town, or otherwise cannot get your gear picked up on Friday, please email Lisa (lisamdeaton@comcast.net ) to make other arrangements, if/as possible.  In your email, please include the names of all registrants in your party.

Please donate to help our veteran community.  Everyone -- whether you register for the event or not -- can donate to our veteran causes.  Donors can honor a veteran: with a flag (4 in by 6 in) with a donation of $10 or more; or with a large sign (2 ft by 1.5 ft) with a donation of $30 or more.  For the flag or sign, you will be able to make your donation “in honor of”, or “in memory of”, the name of a veteran.  That veteran's name will then be put on the flag or sign.  The flags will be placed together prominently at the event; the signs will be displayed, individually and prominently, along the course.  Participants at the event can pick up their flags there.  To make any donation (in any amount, for a flag, sign, or otherwise) to support our veterans, please click on the DONATE icon at the top of this page. 

If you have any questions or concerns about the 5k, please feel free to call Lisa Deaton at 843-224-7878.
