From the Race Organizer
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 is preparing special touches to set this event apart from all others so that every woman who participates will feel super special and appreciated. Register now for the Heart & Sole so you can be part of the fun on May 16. We're coming back with a bang! Until then, stay strong and healthy! Jeanna Moffett Race Director

Course & Travel Notes

In mid-May, Columbia typically sees highs around 84°F and lows near 62°F, so plan for warm daytime conditions and bring layers for the cool early morning when the race starts at 7:30 AM, just over an hour after sunrise. Rain occurs on about a third of days during this time of year, so pack a light rain jacket or check the forecast closer to race day. The venue sits at just 184 feet elevation, so you won't need to acclimate to significant altitude. Jim Hamilton L.B. Owens Airport is conveniently located only 1.9 miles from the race venue, making it easy to arrange ground transportation.
