Earn Your Wings 5k 2026

Earn Your Wings 5k is a low-cost morning race at Anderson Regional Airport in Anderson, South Carolina. Packet pickup opens at 7:30 AM, the free 1 Mile Run/Walk starts at 8:15 AM, and the 5k starts at 8:30 AM. The 5k uses a certified course, which matters for runners who want an official distance without making the event feel formal or expensive. The airport setting gives the race its personality, and the proceeds stay on site to help build and expand the Anderson Regional Airport playground. The 1 Mile option makes it easy for walkers, kids, and families to join without paying a race fee. One-mile medals are sold on site in limited numbers, and Dri-Fit shirts are sold separately, with online registration the best way to lock in a size.
