Kick off the New Year with excitement at the 18th New Year's Day Prediction Run 5K on Thursday, January 1, 2026! This unique and fun-filled event will take place at the YMCA of Coastal Carolina in Myrtle Beach, Horry, starting at 10:00 am.

The winner will be the participant whose actual finish time is closest to their predicted time, making it a thrilling and fair competition for everyone involved.

Join fellow runners and walkers in this equal opportunity race for just $20, or contribute $20 worth of non-perishable food items to support the Buck Creek Baptist Church Pantry in Longs, SC. Not only will you enjoy a fantastic 5K experience, but you’ll also be giving back to the community.
