Strawberry Sprint & Stroll 5K and Fun Run

A Fort Mill favorite returns for a fourth year as part of the South Carolina Strawberry Festival’s schedule of events. The Strawberry Sprint and Stroll 5K and Fun Run will take place in the historic downtown corridor on Saturday, April 27.

We will have the same 5K race route this year, with the course beginning and ending on Main Street and including nearby residential streets. The 5K race will begin at 9 a.m., followed by the one-mile fun run. The race will conclude a Runner’s Village, including local merchants, food trucks, kids’ zone, music and a festive atmosphere. Berry B. Good, Fort Mill’s cheerful strawberry mascot, and the reigning Strawberry Queens will also be part of the festivities.

For the race this year, we are adding a special component that has not been done in years past. We have a charitable partnership with the Foundation for Fort Mill Schools. This organization will receive a portion of race profits and the opportunity to partake in all race events. We are excited for this opportunity to partner with a great organization and be able to support them financially.

In addition to the competitive 5K, the one-mile fun run is a great opportunity for families with children or anyone who prefers a slower pace to take part. All participants are encouraged to dress in their strawberry best! Participants in both categories (5K & Fun Run) will receive a race shirt and a participation medal.
