Spartanburg Run for Babies 5K

About the Race

Join us for the 6th Annual Spartanburg Run for Babies 5K! In 2027 we are staying at Fifth Third Park, home of the Hub City Spartanburgers. This 5K benefits March of Dimes and the incredible work they do every day.

Every family deserves the best possible start, but that's just not the case yet. With your help, we can change that.

Giving Back

• Each year, one woman dies every 12 hours from pregnancy-related causes.
• 1 in 9 babies in South Carolina is born too soon.

March of Dimes is focused on one thing: helping more moms and babies be healthy and strong. The annual March for Babies and Run for Babies campaigns are its largest weapon against the heartaches that exist in maternal and infant health. We look forward to a day when every mom and baby is healthy regardless of wealth, race or geography, and we need your help to make that happen.

We engage our local community with sponsorship opportunities, employee giving campaigns, volunteer engagement, advocacy efforts and more.

Spartanburg Run for Babies is part of the Upstate Giving Series, where every race is paired with a cause making a difference in our community.
