Run. Restore. Reconnect. The Respond & Restore First Responder Wellness 5K was created for the people who spend their lives showing up for everyone else. Law enforcement officers. Firefighters. EMS. Dispatchers. Corrections officers. And the families who stand beside them. This isn't just a race. It's a day dedicated to physical wellness, mental health, connection, and community. As first responders, we're trained to run toward the problem, push through the exhaustion, and keep going when things get hard. But taking care of ourselves matters, too. Our goal is to create a positive, welcoming environment where first responders and their families can come together, get active, connect with others who understand their experiences, and be reminded that they don't have to carry everything alone. Whether you're an experienced runner, a weekend walker, a first responder, a family member, or simply someone who wants to show your support, you have a place here. Your registration includes an official event T-shirt, finisher medal, race bib, and post-race refreshments. Come run for yourself. Run for your brothers and sisters. Run for the ones who didn't make it home. Run for a healthier first-responder community.

The 2Slow4Boston Marathon was created with slow runners in mind and the thought that it might be fun to host an event that would be exclusive to them.

Although there won't be any prize money for the last participant, the last 3 participants of the will be acknowledge with a trophy and a gift-card.   The biggest perk of this race is that there is NO TIME LIMIT to complete either event.

Message from the Race Director Never say never. After retiring the Heart & Sole Women’s Five Miler in 2020 because of the pandemic and its profound impact on our race operations, we’ve decided to revive this awesome women’s-only event on May 16, 2026! With a beautiful new venue in Columbia, South Carolina, at Gills Creek Memorial Park in Forest Acres and a scenic neighborhood course, we’re bringing you a re-imagined Heart & Sole Women’s Five Miler. We will once again offer a 5-mile run/walk and a 3.5-mile fitness walk. This time, however, both five-mile runners and walkers will be chip-timed, while 3-mile walkers will continue to enjoy a fun and relaxed untimed experience. So whether you’re an elite athlete or a woman looking for a special feel-good event to experience with your girlfriends, you’ll find something to love on Saturday, May 16. You can count on this event to continue celebrating women's health and the power of a healthy lifestyle. Our all-female race committee
