About the Lace up for Love - a 5k
The course runs through James Island County Park, a green, open space that keeps things scenic without much stress underfoot. It draws runners and walkers alike, all moving for the same reason: the proceeds go to the local Ronald McDonald House, which keeps families close to their children during medical treatment.
The cause itself is the main event here. The connection to the families the Ronald McDonald House supports gives the morning a weight that most local 5Ks do not carry.
