There will be no on-site registration for the race. All registrations should be completed online, including pre-registration and race day registration. Online registration will remain open on race day until 8:30am as long as space allows. Participants are encouraged to complete registrations before arriving on-site.

Out of an abundance of concern about the health and safety of our participants, volunteers, and  sponsors, RMHC will adhere to CDC requirements set in place. This includes social distancing, mask mandates, and staggered start times. Participants are asked to wear masks before and after event. Remove only during your time running. Please vacate the park once you are finished with your run. We continue to monitor the situation, and therefore runners will be notified as we get closer to the event regarding packet pick up times and post awards and medals.

How will a virtual run work? As a virtual 5K, you select your racecourse. You can walk, run, or use a treadmill.  The race will be held Friday, April 2nd – Sunday, April 4th.   You choose which day you want to run or run multiple days and submit your best time. Instead of gathering at Red Gate Farms, we encourage you to run 3.1 miles individually, wherever you are. Different streets. Same weekend. Same mission.

We will be recognizing all registered participants the same as past Red Shoes Run events.  Awards will be given out to all age categories; including overall winners and all registered participants will receive a packet pick-up gift bag.  In fact, since we have a virtual 5K option, please encourage your friends to join the fun.  During the race, we want to see you running on Facebook, Instagram, and cheering for other runners.  Post your pictures on #redshoesrun and tag us on Facebook at Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire.

Don’t like to run? You can still support the Ronald McDonald House and the families and children we serve from the comfort of your own bed. With your Sleep In for Families Registration, you will receive FREE McDonald’s value meal coupon, and Red Shoes Run bandana!

New in 2021! – This year we have added a second race course in Bluffton, SC. For additional information and to register, visit- http://bearfootsports.com/red-shoes-run.html
