Moms' Run

Join us for the annual Moms' Run event on Mother's Day weekend, May 9, 2026!

Get ready to run, walk, and celebrate motherhood at our 23rd annual Moms’ Run event! Whether you’re joining our beloved 5K or prefer the 1-mile walk option, there’s a way for everyone to participate and show support for maternal mental health in our community.

This family-friendly morning includes our popular Kids Dash, a fun kids activity area featuring a photo booth and bubble dome, and plenty of pre- and post-race fun. With activities for all ages, the Moms’ Run is more than a race - it’s a celebration of connection, care, and community.

When you register, you’ll receive:
 • A commemorative race t-shirt
 • A race bag for the first 500 to check in at packet pickup
 • Flowers for all 1-mile and 5K finishers
 • Finish line snacks
• Access to all pre- and post-race family fun activities

Your participation directly supports Postpartum Support Charleston’s mission to provide vital resources to moms in our community who are struggling with postpartum depression, anxiety, and other maternal mental health challenges.

We can’t wait to see you on May 9th for a day of celebration, connection, and support!
