Be the Buffalo Memorial Run

The Be the Buffalo Memorial Run for Digits and Needle is a 5K event held annually in Lexington, SC, honoring the memories of two beloved local runners, Dianne Sullivan Wells (Digits) and Edith Edy Pearson (Needle). This event symbolizes community strength and resilience, encouraging participants to face challenges together, much like buffalo do during storms. Proceeds from the race support local charities chosen by the families of the honorees.

The 2026 race is set for February 7, and participants can choose to run or walk, with opportunities for donations and sponsorships available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
