The 2026 race will be held at the Charleston Tech Center on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. Registration is now open.

As the only weekday evening 5K in downtown Charleston, the iFiveK offers participants a unique race experience along a loop neighboring the Charleston Tech Center. Open to runners, joggers, walkers, and amblers of all levels and ages, the event raises funds in support of Charleston Digital’s education and workforce development programs at the Charleston Learning Center.

Participants and supporters are invited to continue the evening at the traditional post-race celebration, featuring music, food, and beverages from neighboring eateries and microbreweries.

“The iFiveK reflects the energy and collaboration that define Charleston’s tech scene,” said Ernest Andrade, Director of Charleston Digital. “It’s an opportunity to connect beyond the workplace, celebrate innovation, and support programs that expand access to technology education.”

Charleston Digital is thankful for the many sponsors that make this event possible. Their continued investment helps strengthen tech education initiatives while fostering meaningful connections across Charleston’s innovation community.

Organizations interested in sponsorship opportunities for the 2026 iFiveK or additional event details are encouraged to contact Ernest Andrade at Charleston Digital by email or phone.
