Red Nose Run
January 28, 2012

Last year, an impressive 650+ runners registered in our 5th Annual Red Nose Run and this year, more than 750 runners are expected to join us to support RMHC of Columbia, SC!  Beginning and ending at the Colonial Life Arena, the 10K will begin at 8 a.m. and the 5K will begin shortly after at 8:15 a.m.  The first Palmetto Grand Prix race for the 2012 season is presented by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina and is in partnership with Feld Entertainment and the Colonial Life Arena.  This annual event has been a proven success through the years as it raised more than $17,000 last year to directly benefit the families who call our House their Home during their time of need.

We hope you will join us for the 6th Annual Red Run!  All pre-registered participants will receive official race tee shirt, running coupons, Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey items, as well as plenty of food, drinks and fun.  Pre-register online or register the morning of the race from 6:45 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. at the Colonial Life Arena.  Only pre-registered runners are guaranteed a runner packet.  Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
