❤️ Supporting March of Dimes

Each year, one woman dies every 12 hours from pregnancy-related causes.

1 in 9 babies in South Carolina is born too soon.

March of Dimes is focused on one thing: helping more moms and babies be healthy and strong. The annual March for Babies and Run for Babies campaigns are its largest weapon against the heartaches that exist in maternal and infant health. We look forward to a day when every mom and baby is healthy regardless of wealth, race or geography, and we need your help to make that happen.

We engage our local community with sponsorship opportunities, employee giving campaigns, volunteer engagement, advocacy efforts and more.

ℹ️ Race Policies

Pets: Pets are allowed with a signed waiver, available on site via QR code at the gate. No pets are allowed on the field. Participants with pets may take a photo at the finish area on the back side of the stadium and then head back to the concourse.
