REGISTER HERE!

Join us at Lake Conestee Nature Park in Greenville for a fun family event supporting a wonderful cause! Or you can participate and make a difference from wherever you are through our virtual event!

Registration for the 5K race is $25 and the 1 mile run/walk is FREE! The very popular Race the Helix t-shirts (tie-dyed this year to celebrate GGC’s 1974 founding) are also available for purchase through March 31.

All proceeds from Race the Helix-Upstate will directly benefit patients and families in need of genetic services. Through the Foundation’s GGC Cares Fund, families who need genetic evaluations or testing, but are unable to afford it, can access these life-changing services thanks to your support!

Interested in sponsoring this year’s event? Contact the GGC Foundation at (864) 388-1801 or get more info here…

It’s hard to believe that Race the Helix has been supporting families impacted by genetic disorders for 13 years!

Join us on Saturday, October 7 at 9am on GGC’s Greenwood campus for the 13th annual Race the Helix-Greenwood! Sign up for the 5K ($25) or 1 mile event (free).

A 5K virtual option is also available for our faraway friends!

All proceeds support the GGC Cares Fund of the Greenwood Genetic Center Foundation which directly supports families who are in need of genetic services and testing. We are so grateful for your support of Race the Helix and ultimately, the patients and families of those impacted by genetic disorders. We hope that you will enjoy your walk or run with us in Greenwood or wherever you are!
