Miles and Mortarboards 5K
The Miles and Mortarboards 5K begins in Unity Park on Main Street in Kingstree, South Carolina, with the start line near the Train Depot. This is a timed 5K run and walk associated with Williamsburg Technical College. Packet pickup and race-day registration occur in the park prior to the start of the first pace group. Registration covers a shirt and timing; children under 12 participate free with a registered adult. The course travels through historic downtown Kingstree, crosses Highway 52, and reaches Black River Gilland Park before returning via the same route. Jogging strollers with a fixed or locked front wheel are permitted from the rear of the field. Post-race awards in Unity Park recognize overall and age-group winners. Nearby, health and wellness vendors will be present, and local businesses will host sales or special events. Proceeds benefit the Williamsburg Technical College Foundation, aiding the college’s students, faculty, staff, and the local community.
