The 14th Annual Avondale 5K Run + Walk Promises a Whole Lot of Fun for a Good Cause

Listen to this article

Get ready to walk, run or roll at the 14th Annual Avondale 5K Run + Walk for Special Kids benefiting the Charles Webb Center happening Saturday, October 14th! Last year’s race brought in nearly 500 participants and raised close to $50,000 for the CWC. With the community’s help, we will top that this year, with a goal of $75,000! The Avondale 5K has become one of the community’s most anticipated annual events and is the single largest fundraiser for the Charles Webb Center.

Starting on Tall Oak Drive near Triangle Char and Bar (828 Savannah Highway), Avondale 5K runners and walkers will make their way through the lovely streets of the Avondale neighborhood and onto the new bike path in West Ashley. Strollers and dogs are welcome! The After Race Party starts as soon as participants cross the finish line. Triangle Char and Bar is hosting the party complete with music, all-inclusive food and drinks. Awards and prizes will be given at the After Party.

All proceeds from the Avondale 5K directly benefit the Charles Webb Center, the only DSS-licensed childcare facility supporting children with special needs and developmental disabilities in the state. The Center is under the umbrella of the Disabilities Foundation of Charleston County, and is located at 1611 Evergreen Street, right off Savannah Highway. To learn more about CWC, visit www.charleswebbcenter.com.

Runners and walkers have the option to create and name their own teams in an additional effort to raise funds. For the team with the highest amount of money raised, Triangle will throw a private party for 25 people complete with drinks and food!

The top winner will have the honor of their name being engraved on the prestigious “Stevie Award,” named after the late Stephen Condon in whose memory the race was founded. All attendees and participants are asked to please park in designated parking spaces and NOT on the race course.
