City of Conway Under the Lights 5k Run/Walk 2026

The City of Conway Under the Lights 5K Run/Walk is an annual evening holiday race in Downtown Conway, South Carolina, hosted by Conway Parks & Recreation. It is a 5K for runners and walkers, with a 700-person cap and a start at 4th and Elm Street. All participants receive a race packet and finisher medal. Late and same-day registrants receive shirts while supplies last. The course guides participants through downtown past holiday light displays. The route may be adjusted due to street flooding. Participants are encouraged to wear holiday outfits for a costume contest with awards for the top three best dressed. Standard 5K awards are given for overall male and female, masters winners, and age groups from 10-and-under through 80-plus, based on gun time.
