CareSouth Carolina will host Run2Care 5K

Hundreds of Pee Dee residents will lace up their running shoes in support of community-wide health and access to care during CareSouth Carolina’s annual Run2Care 5k run Saturday, September 21.

Starting at 8 a.m., runners and walkers will race across the city of Hartsville with all proceeds going to the CareFIRST Carolina foundation. The money raised for the event will be directed toward two basic categories: improving access to care for those in need and improving the health of people in care.

The event will begin at the Hartsville YMCA (111 E Carolina Ave Hartsville, SC 29550) and will feature health screenings & education, as well as major prizes and giveaways.

Participants can register for $25 online at https://caresouthcarolinarun2care5k.itsyourrace.com/ or for $30 on the day of the event. Strollers and pets on a leash are welcome.

For more information, please call 843-309-8347.
