🥚 What Makes the PULSEology Golden Egg 5K Special

Golden Egg 5K Run/Walk: Whether you're an experienced runner or just starting your fitness journey, our 5K is perfect for everyone. Join us for a scenic run/walk through Bluffton as you soak in the Easter atmosphere.
Catch the Bunny & Easter Egg Hunt: We'll have a fun run for the kiddos - we like to call it the "Catch the Bunny" - and, our Easter egg hunt is a fantastic adventure for the kids (and the young at heart). We’ve hidden lots of eggs, filled with delightful surprises, all around our event location. Watch your little ones' faces light up as they explore and collect eggs!
Awards and Prizes: Awards await the top finishers in various categories (we are rooting for ya!).
Community Spirit: Connect with your neighbors, make new friends, and experience the true essence of community at the PULSEology Golden Egg 5K Run/Walk and Easter Egg Hunt.
In Memory of Lara McDonald: She was a light to many, had a spirit so joyful and a heart so kind that she touched everyone she met. She lived each day to the fullest, loved hard and cherished time with family and friends. Lara rescued her dog, Millie, from a local shelter in Philadelphia. Together they shared beautiful moments, going for daily walks through her neighborhood and creating lasting memories. Millie, not just a companion, but a source of comfort and love, was especially there for Lara during her last days. On April 10th, 2023 surrounded by loved ones, Lara left behind a legacy of love and shared adventures.

🌧️ Inclement Weather Plan

Safety for our participants, volunteers, and staff is our number one concern. Any decision we make regarding the production or cancellation of the event will be made with their interest first and foremost. If mother nature does not cooperate on race morning, we will delay the event until the conditions are safe - this delay will continue for a reasonable amount of time until we deem it necessary to cancel the event. If time permits and if the weather poses a threat that is certain to make us cancel the event in the hours prior to the start, we will notify participants of the race cancellation via email as soon as that decision is made.
