Organiser's description
The 8th Annual Sandalwood Run for Hunger will be held on Hilton Head Island Saturday, November 4th, 2023 at 8:30 am. Our previous success has been in large part due to the awesome support we have received from our community to help make that possible again, we invite you to participate in this special annual event as a sponsor!
The Sandalwood Community Food Pantry is delighted to share that the SERG GROUP and three of their independently owned restaurants: Holy Tequila, Charbar Co. Burgers & Sushi and Giuseppis Pizza & Pasta House of Hilton Head are proud to partner and be the Title sponsors for this year's Run for Hunger.
We will return to the historic Mitchellville Freedom Park as the location for our 5K,10K Run/Walk -- this is a diverse course combining roads, trails and beach. Thanks to popular demand, we will again include a Fastest Dog Division.
