This is a charity event to assist with the Scholarship Program at The Justin Pepper Foundation. Established in 2007, The Justin Pepper Foundation provides awards and scholarships to youth that excel in community service activities. In the past eight years, the foundation has provided $37,000 in scholarships, assisting students with educational opportunities beyond high school.
Parking on Race Day will be available on a first come, first served basis in the Chapin Commons parking lot (directly across from Palmetto Bone & Joint). Overflow parking will be at Chapin High School. Pleae be respectful of our vendors and leave the parking spaces at the Chapin Chamber open for them.
Please note that if you park in the Chapin Commons lot you MUST stay for the entire event. Leaving this parking lot while the race is in process is not safe for our participants that are still finishing. If you finish in the first portion of the event we have entertainment as you wait for the awards with a very interactive DJ and vendor booths to visit. REMEMBER: Staying for the awards is a large part of the event for everyone. It's always great to have a crowd congratulate new participants and/or those that are walking the event, but still hit their age groups, receive their medal. It's a huge encouragement for them to return to our event and to do other race events. Additionally, this year we are adding a podium for photo opps. Having all THREE places on the podium makes for great photos.... and again gives participants encouragement for the future.
PARKING DISCLAIMER: The Justin Pepper Foundation, the Town of Chapin, Chapin Commons, nor Chapin High School is responsible for any damage or loss that may occur to your vehicle while parked for this event. It is suggested that you lock your doors and keep items of value with you.
