Earth Day 5K

Celebrate our planet with a simple, sustainable run at the Earth Day 5K in Bluffton on Saturday, April 18, 2026.

This thoughtfully designed event minimizes its environmental footprint by recycling old race bibs, forgoing new t-shirts, eliminating plastic water bottles, and awarding live plants and trees.

Starting at Lancaster Park at 9:00 AM, the race offers a no-frills, affordable 5K run or walk that truly honors the spirit of Earth Day through its actions.

Your participation supports a model of eco-conscious event planning, proving that community fitness and environmental stewardship can go hand-in-hand.

Secure your low-cost registration for a morning that strips away the excess and gets back to the core of running: community, health, and respect for the Earth.

Lace up your most worn-in shoes and join fellow runners in Bluffton for a celebration that leaves nothing behind but footprints on the path and positive intentions.

This is the Earth Day run for purists and planet-lovers who believe the best way to honor the day is by treading lightly and moving together.
