About the Call My Name 5K
The course tours the Clemson University campus and traces the work of Black convict laborers who built many of its most recognizable brick buildings and cleared the land around them. Running past those structures gives the race a weight that most campus 5Ks do not carry. The route is a way of moving through history that is still standing.
Packets can be picked up a couple of days before the race at the Hendrix Student Center, or on race morning at the Clemson Carillon Garden, which also serves as the start area. The Carillon Garden option works well if you are coming in from out of town and cannot make the earlier window.

The Call My Name 5K has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
