UPDATE – Event cancelled due to conditions of the trails.

The Laurens County Cancer Association (LCCA) invites the community to join the 15th Annual Run Like a Mann 5K Run and Walk in memory of Tim Mann, a beloved friend and community member who lost his battle with cancer. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, October 12th, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at 1337 Medical Ridge Road in Clinton, SC.

Tim Mann’s legacy continues to inspire this meaningful event, with all proceeds directly benefiting LCCA’s Fuel Assistance Program and Prescription Reimbursement initiative. These vital programs help ease the financial burdens for cancer patients in Laurens County, particularly those who must travel to other cities for treatment, as no local facilities are available.

“Cancer patients here in Laurens County often have to travel long distances for their treatments. Our Fuel Assistance Program helps lift some of the burden from these patients, many of whom face overwhelming costs,” said Anna Miller, Director of the LCCA. “Every dollar raised from this event stays right here in our community, supporting our friends and neighbors who are fighting cancer.”

With treatment facilities located in cities like Greenwood, Greenville, and Charleston, patients may need to travel up to five times a week, depending on their treatment plan. The Run Like a Mann 5K provides a vital opportunity for the local community to rally together in support of these individuals.

Participation in the event costs $30, and those interested can register online at Run Like a Mann Sign-Up.

This event continues to be a significant fundraiser for LCCA, a local non-profit that operates independently of national organizations.
