The South Carolina Governor’s School for Science & Mathematics (GSSM) will host its annual 5K Race for Mental Health Awareness on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026, in Hartsville. The community event raises awareness of mental health and brings together students, families, and residents in support of a meaningful cause.

The race is organized by Fun Without Drugs (FWD), a student-led organization at GSSM that promotes healthy, balanced lifestyles and mental well-being.  Each year, FWD hosts the GSSM 5K to encourage conversation, connection, and community engagement around mental health.

Proceeds from this year’s race will benefit Night to Shine, a prom experience for individuals ages 14 and older with special needs in Hartsville.
