About this run
LUNG FORCE Run/Walk – Charleston Join us for the 2026 LUNG FORCE Run/Walk at beautiful Folly Beach as our community comes together to make every step count in the fight against lung cancer and lung disease. Whether you run, walk, jog or stroll, you'll be surrounded by survivors, caregivers, families, friends and advocates united by one mission: to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. This unique 5K on the sand is a family-friendly and dog-friendly event, making it the perfect way to spend a morning with those you love while supporting a lifesaving cause. Participants of all ages and fitness levels are welcome, whether you're chasing a personal best or simply enjoying a walk along the beach. Together, we'll celebrate lung cancer survivors, honor loved ones we've lost, and inspire hope for those currently facing a diagnosis. Every dollar raised supports groundbreaking research, advocacy efforts, education, and local programs that help people living with lung disease breathe easier. Form a team, invite your family, bring your four-legged friend, or register as an individual—every step and every dollar makes a difference. Join us at Folly Beach on October 17, 2026, and help us prove that when a community comes together, we are One Mighty FORCE for healthier lungs and healthier lives.
