Join us for the Newington Elementary School 5K Run/Walk, Fun Run, and Festival! Our race this year will be run in memory of the late Tommy Henry, a Newington teacher and avid runner and participant in the Summerville fitness community. There will be opportunities at the race and festival to support Tommy’s family financially.

This year, in addition to our annual 5K and 1 Mile Kids Fun Run, we’ll have inaugural DolphinFest with vendor booths, jump castles, and food trucks.

All proceeds for this event go to support the Newington Elementary School PTA and programs for Newington Elementary School.

If you wish to sponsor this event or have a booth at the festival, please contact us at [email protected]

The Swamp Fox Gravel Fondo (SFGF) will take place on the gravel roads in and around the Francis Marion National Forest just outside of Charleston, South Carolina. The forest is named for the revolutionary war hero Francis Marion, who was known to the British as the Swamp Fox. He used these swamps, creeks and forest areas to ambush and hide from the British and was depicted in the movie “The Patriot”. The SFGF is a minimally supported gravel fondo with routes of 50 and 100 miles. There will be a minimum of one aid station for the 50 mile option and a minimum of two aid stations along the 100 mile option. Riders should be prepared to fix anything that may come their way (flats, mechanicals, etc). The forest is remote and cell phone reception is not guaranteed. Please plan accordingly. Post race food (included) will be provided by Backdraft BBQ. Custom SFGF 100% cotton event T-shirt is included in your registration.
