From the Organizer
Fostering the Family is hosting our 7th Annual Fight for Families 5k Trail Run/Walk on November 7, 2026 in a
BRAND NEW LOCATION:
WESTMINSTER PARK
ROCK HILL, SC
This event is meant to bring awareness to the local foster and adoption crisis. While this race is a true 5k, it will also have some elements that offer an interactive insight into the life of a child traveling through the child welfare system. Join us as we experience the reality of foster care and come together as a community to bring about change!
There will be interactive stations leading up to the start line that you will be able to visit from 8-9 am, as well as two water stations during the race. Our 5k race for all ages will begin at 9 am and be timed by both male and female divisions per age category.
Following the race, there will be an awards ceremony at 10:15 am with prizes for the race winners in each age category. Each runner will receive their time via text from Queen City Timing.
If your business, church, or nonprofit is interested in sponsorship or vendor tables we encourage all participation by the community.
We are better together!
