The Upstate Giving Series: Turning Miles Into Local Impact

The Upstate Giving Series connects the 30 events produced by the Upstate Race Series with 30 nonprofit organizations serving communities throughout Upstate South Carolina.

Each event provides participants with an opportunity to support a designated local charity through registration, donations, fundraising, and increased community awareness. Every dollar donated through the Giving Series goes directly to organizations already doing meaningful work—supporting children and families, improving health and wellness, caring for animals, protecting our environment, and providing essential resources to people in need.

Every Mile Can Help Fund:

• Essential programs and services for people in need
• Youth, family, and community outreach initiatives
• Health, wellness, education, and environmental programs
• Resources that keep the Upstate active, supported, and connected

When you register, donate, volunteer, or invite someone to race with you, you become part of something larger than the finish line.
