March for Meals 5K – the Wild Run

On Saturday, February 21, the 12th annual March for Meals and 5K Run & Walk (the Wild Run), benefiting the Meals On Wheels campaign and other meal programs, will take Columbia by storm. Hosted by Senior Resources Inc. and sponsored by South Carolina Electric & Gas, the event will take place at the Timmerman Trail, in Cayce. The newly certified course is flat, fast and family friendly. Anticipating more than 800 attendees, participants are asked to plan to arrive early. Sponsors, participants and donors will not only have the satisfaction of helping Senior Resources raise money to feed seniors through its Meals On  Wheels and other meal programs, they will also help the organization raise awareness about the issue of food insecurity that many seniors face on a daily basis. All are invited to run and walk for the seniors they know and don’t know.  

Cost: Runners, $35; walkers, $30; $15 ages 12 and under. Early-bird registration available. Times: 9 a.m. until completion. Location: Timmerman Trail: Near Scana Headquarters and I-77, starting just west of the 12th Street Extension, in Cayce.
