North Augusta Hardest & Funnest 5k 2026

The North Augusta Hardest & Funnest 5K takes runners on four short loops starting at 100 North Main Street in North Augusta, South Carolina, as part of the Jack-O-Lantern Jubilee. This Halloween-season 5K offers a solo run/walk, a relay for teams up to four, and a Kids Run for younger participants. The course deviates from a standard 5K: each 0.75-mile lap features a 100-foot challenge lane. The first lap requires lunges, the second a bear crawl, the third burpee broad jumps, and the final lap is a sprint to the finish. The relay allows a team to divide the distance, and the Kids Run provides a shorter version for children. Registration provides a custom race shirt and a finisher award, with additional awards presented after the kids' race.
