Get ready to hit the pavement with purpose! The Community Medical Clinic of Kershaw County is proud to present the 19th Annual Clinic Classic Walk/Run – where every stride supports healthcare access for our neighbors who need it most.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 25, 2026, as we transform Historic Camden into a celebration of community, wellness, and compassion. Lyttleton Street United Methodist Church (1206 Lyttleton Street) serves as race headquarters, with runners and walkers launching into the scenic streets of our historic district at 8 a.m. sharp. Rain or shine, we’re running!

“Nineteen years strong and we’re just getting started,” said Clinic Classic Coordinator Lynn Matthews. “This isn’t just a race—it’s our community saying ‘we’ve got each other’s backs.’ Whether you’re chasing a PR or strolling with your kids, you’re making healthcare possible for families right here in Kershaw County.”

Pick Your Path:

  • Camden Family Care 1 Mile Run/Walk – $30
  • McDonald’s 5K Run/Walk (with timing chip) – $35
  • Late registration (after March 26th) adds $5
  • Entry includes your race bib AND an event t-shirt (while supplies last for registrations after March 27th)

Cross the finish line to free refreshments, an energizing awards ceremony, and the satisfaction of knowing you just changed lives.

Schools, Let’s Make Some Noise!

The Clinic Classic Challenge is BACK, and the competition is heating up! Elementary and middle schools across Kershaw County School District are racing for a $500 grand prize. The winning formula?
