12th Annual Moms' Run

Event Details

On Mother’s Day weekend, honor moms everywhere by supporting a cause that helps women and their families suffering from postpartum mood disorders. Postpartum Support Charleston is hosting the 12th annual Moms’ Run + Family Fun Day at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, May 9 at Blackbaud Stadium on Daniel Island.

Runners and walkers can join the 5K run/walk starting at Blackbaud and winding through Daniel Island before ending back at the stadium for Family Fun Day. In 2014, more than 400 people registered for the race.

This annual certified 5K Moms’ Run is Postpartum Support Charleston’s largest fundraiser, allowing the organization to further its mission of educating, supporting and healing women suffering from postpartum depression and anxiety. Postpartum Support Charleston offers support for women going through PPD and their families as well as community resources and education plus grants for women who may need financial assistance getting treatment for postpartum depression.

A Family Fun Day and awards ceremony will follow the race. Participants can enjoy music, free food and plenty of children’s activities, including a jump castle, face painting, crafts and games. Family Fun Day is included in race registration.

Race registration is $25; $30 for stroller registration (includes child T-shirt); $15 for children 10 and under. Those who register by April 30 will receive a T-shirt, printed bib and race bag. Prices increase $5 on May 1. Discounts are available for groups of 20 or more; email [email protected]. Or support the cause as a non-runner/walker for $25.
