Lace up your shoes and get those meatballs moving! The Meatball 5K Run & 1-Mile Fun Run is heading to a brand-new location at Pine Trace Park in Summerville, SC, for 2026! The new course offers a great setting for runners, walkers, families, and supporters to come together and kick off the Summerville Italian Feast festivities.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best, enjoying a family stroll, or simply working up an appetite for some great Italian food, there’s a place for everyone at the starting line.

Proceeds from the race benefit the Dorchester Two Educational Foundation, supporting students and schools throughout Dorchester School District Two.

Awards will be presented to the top three male and female finishers in each age category, along with a team award for the group with the highest participation. All registered 5K participants receive an official race T-shirt and finisher medal, while 1-Mile Fun Run participants receive a finisher medal.

So grab your famiglia, lace ’em up, and join us at our new home at Pine Trace Park!

Run. Walk. Mangia. Repeat.
