Event details: Palmetto Half Marathon and 5k
Description
The first annual Palmetto Half Marathon will be held on April 10, 2010 at the Village at Sandhill in Northeast Richland County and will include a Half Marathon, 5k, Expo and Kids Fun Run. The Palmetto Half Marathon is not just a race but a community event to strengthen and support our residents. According to Facing Facts 2009, a community assessment based on an analysis of responses from residents and community leaders, four central issues were identified in Richland and Lexington counties. The number one issue is poverty and the struggle to meet basic human needs (food & shelter) with transportation closely following. Through a partnership with North Trenholm Baptist Church and the Village at Sandhill the Palmetto Half Marathon will benefit four local non-profit organizations: Harvest Hope Food Bank, St. Lawrence Place, Alston Wilkes Society Veterans Home and the Family Shelter. These organizations are an integral part of our community by providing food and shelter for all age groups and backgrounds. Come support the Columbia, SC community!
