Rotary Club of Florence Forget Me Not 5K 2026

The Rotary Club of Florence Forget Me Not 5K begins at James Allen Plaza in downtown Florence, South Carolina, at 8:00 AM. This 5K run/walk, presented by the Morning News, accommodates a wide range of participants: students receive a reduced entry fee, walkers are welcome, strollers are permitted, and awards are given for age groups from 7 and under to 70 and older. The course is USATF-certified, entirely flat, and winds through downtown Florence with few turns, making it suitable for those aiming for a fast time and families enjoying a leisurely pace. The finish line is located in the center of downtown, opposite James Allen Plaza. The race benefits Alzheimer’s research via Rotary’s CART Fund, with funds directed toward prevention, treatment, and cure initiatives. Shirts are provided while supplies last; register early to ensure you receive a size.
