Veterans Day 5K Fun Run/Walk at Hampton Park 2026

The Veterans Day 5K Fun Run/Walk covers 3.1 miles in Hampton Park, Charleston, South Carolina, beginning at 9 AM. Its purpose is to honor veterans. A virtual option is available alongside the in-person race, and veterans or active-duty personnel receive a reduced entry fee. Race-day activities will take place on the north side of the park, near the Rose Pavilion and public restrooms, consolidating information, pre-run activities, the start, and the finish. The course consists of 3.1 laps around the Hampton Park loop on Mary Murray Drive. The road is divided into three lanes: the inside lane for competitive runners, the middle lane for cyclists, and the outside lane for runners and walkers. Vehicle traffic will be excluded. The event also gathers food donations during packet pickup and on race day. Suggested items include canned meats, peanut butter and jelly, canned fruit, canned vegetables, and ready-to-eat meals.
