Formerly known as the Carver C.A.P. Run, this event strives to honor her life, and the lives of children like her, while also raising awareness and support for victims of child abuse in our local community. All proceeds support quality services at the CARE House of the Pee Dee for children who have been abused and their families. </h5> <h5><strong>For more event details, visit the CARE House Website <a href="https://www.thecarehouse.com/capes-for-kids-run" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Here!</a></strong><br />CAPES (Child Abuse Prevention Education &amp; Support) for Kids Run is asking you to take a stand against child abuse!<br /><a href="https://097dddc4-253a-4495-8986-9fda9494c895.filesusr.com/ugd/e7add9_0dd25a6eae0e4495bed488534d8815e1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here for Course Maps.</a> </h5> <h4><span style="color:rgb( 53 , 152 , 219 )">Event Details</span></h4> <h5><strong>Saturday, May 2nd<br /></strong><strong>Briggs Elementary School</strong><br /><strong>1012 Congaree Drive, Florence, SC</strong></h5> <h5><strong>Check-In &amp; In-Person Registration</strong>: 7:00 AM - 7:45 AM<br /><strong>5K &amp; 10K Race Start Time:</strong> 8:00 AM<br /><strong>Kid&#39;s Fun Run:</strong> 9:30 AM</h5> <h5>The <strong>5K &amp; 10K</strong> courses begin at Briggs Elementary School at 8:00 AM.
