Run for Kids' Sake 5k Benefitting Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Upstate

Join Us for the 4th Annual Run for Kids' Sake – Now with a Kids' Fun Run!

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Upstate invites you to our 4th Annual Run for Kids' Sake race at Conestee Park on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 9:00 AM. This family-friendly event features a 5K run/walk open to all ages and experience levels, along with a 400-meter fun run for kids. Additionally, participants will enjoy coffee, pre- and post- race refreshments, community vendors, family-friendly activities, and more!

This professionally chip-timed race is perfect for both seasoned runners and first-time participants. We encourage Bigs to run or walk alongside their Littles and welcome families, friends, and supporters to join us for a morning of fun, fitness, and community impact.

Every step taken helps support BBBS-Upstate's mission to connect local young people with caring adult mentors who provide encouragement, guidance, and support. Research shows that youth with mentors are more likely to achieve their goals, build confidence, make positive choices, and reach their full potential.

Whether you’re racing for a personal best or walking in support of a great cause, your participation helps create life-changing opportunities for youth throughout our community.

Register today and help ensure every child has someone in their corner.
