Our annual March for Babies and Run for Babies Campaigns are our largest weapon against the heartaches that exist in maternal and infant health. We are looking forward to a day where every mom and baby is healthy regardless of wealth, race, geography, or race. We need your help to make that happen. We engage our local community with sponsorship opportunities, employee giving campaigns, volunteer engagement, advocacy efforts, and more.</span></p> <h5><span style="color:#000000"><span style="color:rgb( 132 , 63 , 161 )"><strong>Why March of Dimes: </strong></span><br />SUPPORT RESEARCH to find solutions so every family gets the best possible start<br />ADVOCATE FOR POLICIES that prioritize the health of moms and babies<br />PROVIDE RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS to help moms throughout their pregnancies<br />TRAIN AND EDUCATE health professionals to improve mom and baby care</span></h5> <h5> </h5> <p><span style="font-size:14pt;color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><span style="color:rgb( 132 , 63 , 161 )"><strong>When:</strong></span> April 18th, 2026 &#64; 9:00am</span></p> <ul><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )">8:00am - Registration and Check-in (packet pickup) Opens</span></li></ul> <p><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><span style="font-size:14pt"><strong><span style="color:rgb( 132 , 63 , 161 )">Where</span>:</strong> Fifth Third Park, home of the Hub City Spartanburgers</span></span></p> <p><span style="color:rgb( 132 , 63 , 161 );font-size:14pt"><strong>Parking: </strong><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )">The Spartanburgers Parking Garage</span></span></p> <h5> </h5> <h5><span style="color:#000000"><b><span style="color:rgb( 132 , 63 , 161 )">Youth Discounts</span>:</b> Children Under 12 Discounted Pricing (only children running the race and in need of a bib or t-shirt need to register.  If you are pushing a stroller with a child, you do not need to register the child)</span></h5> <ul><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><span style="color:#000000">$20 through February 28th</span></li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><span style="color:#000000">$25 through race day</span></li></ul> <h5> </h5> <h4><span style="color:rgb( 132 , 63 , 161 )"><b>Awards</b></span></h4> <ul><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">Top 3 in Each Age Group will receive a hand crafted award!</span></h5> <ul><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">1-9</span></h5> </li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">10-19</span></h5> </li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">20-29</span></h5> </li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">30-34</span></h5> </li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">35-39</span></h5> </li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">40-44</span></h5> </li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">45-49</span></h5> </li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">50-54</span></h5> </li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">55-59</span></h5> </li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">60-69</span></h5> </li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">70-79</span></h5> </li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">80&#43;</span></h5> </li></ul> </li></ul> <h4><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><b><span style="color:rgb( 132 , 63 , 161 )">Packet Pickup:</span> </b></span></h4> <ul><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">THURSDAY, APRIL 16th from 4-6pm &#64; Hub City Runners</span></h5> </li><li style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"> <h5><span style="color:#000000">Saturday, April 18th - Onsite for Race Morning (pick up beginning at 8am) </span></h5> </li></ul> <h5> </h5> <p> </p> <h5><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><i>Join us as a <b>sponsor</b>, form a <b>fundraising team</b> and/or register runners.</i></span></h5> <h5><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><b><i>For more information, or to purchase a sponsorship, contact Amber McDowell</i></b></span></h5> <h5><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><i>Phone: (864) 551-2562 or Email: amcdowell&#64;marchofdimes.org</i></span></h5>
