Mcelveen Race for the Ark

The 26th Annual McElveen Race For The ARK takes place in downtown Summerville, South Carolina, starting and finishing at St. Luke's Lutheran Church. This event features a USATF-certified 5K run/walk through historic downtown and a 1-mile fun run, both designed to support families affected by Alzheimer’s and related dementia.

Participants can register for the 5K with or without a dry-fit T-shirt, or join the 1-mile fun run individually or as a family of four. The race offers awards for top finishers and age groups, with a $100 prize for breaking course records. A Corporate Challenge encourages team participation, and the event includes water stations and a festive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
