Pickens County Meals on Wheels is excited to host the Annual 5K Glow Run. The race takes place in front of the McKissick Center on Hwy 93 and ends at the rear of our building on Edgemont Avenue.

We hold a Glow Attire Contest at 7:00 PM where participants are encouraged to be creative with their glow attire. The timed race begins at 7:30 PM, and we welcome runners and walkers to join in on the festivities.

And the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line! Enjoy Pelicano Pizza before and after the race and join us for an after-party at No Vacancy on Commerce Street.

Pickens County Meals on Wheels is a non-profit organization dedicated to making sure that no senior is left isolated or hungry. With the help of 500 volunteers, we deliver 450 meals daily, ensuring our aging neighbors remain independent and connected. In 2025 alone, we served 600 seniors and provided over 80,000 meals.

Our budget relies on fundraising and donations to help us continue to provide meals and a friendly safety check to our homebound seniors. Thank you for your participation, and we look forward to a fun and safe event!

This race is one of the community charity races in the Upstate Giving Series, which connects local races with the Upstate nonprofits they support. Every finish counts toward the series standings.

A huge thank you to our sponsors:
