WE RUN FOR THE CAUSE
The Run to the Rescue 5k is a 3.1 mile race in Greenwood, South Carolina to benefit the Humane Society of Greenwood. We are wholeheartedly devoted to providing participants, volunteers, and spectators alike a memorable and rewarding experience.
Our mission is to provide support to the Humane Society of Greenwood by providing an event in our community that not only benefits the animals of Greenwood but the health of its citizens as well.
How did the Run to the Rescue 5k begin?

Over the last 4 years the race has raised a total of $11,609 for the Humane Society of Greenwood.
