February is Heart Month, and there's no better way to celebrate than getting outside and getting your heart pumping at the Heart & Sole 10-Mile and 5K Trail Race at the Broad River Greenway.

Mark your calendar for February 28, 2026, with a 9am chip start. Whether you're a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best or someone who simply enjoys a good walk in the woods, Heart & Sole offers a course and a pace for everyone.

Participants can choose between the challenging 10-mile course or the more approachable 5K option. Both routes wind through scenic wooded trails, along river views, and across gentle rolling terrain that showcases the natural beauty of the Greenway.

Heart & Sole isn't just about the miles. It's about taking care of yourself and encouraging others to do the same. February shines a spotlight on heart health, and regular movement is one of the simplest (and most enjoyable) ways to reduce stress, improve cardiovascular health, and boost your mood. Add fresh air and community encouragement, and it's a powerful combination.

Race day brings out the best in our community. Volunteers line the course with cheers and encouragement. Friends gather at the starting line. Families celebrate at the finish. It's competitive if you want it to be -- but always welcoming, no matter your pace.

Proceeds from the race support trail maintenance and the many free programs offered throughout the year at the Greenway, helping ensure our community continues to have access to safe, scenic places to walk, run, and recharge.

Participants are encouraged to wear red in honor of Heart Month -- or sport their official race day t-shirt -- and dedicate their run to someone who inspires them to live well.
