Farrah Turner Foundation 5K

Farrah Turner Foundation 5K

Join us on Saturday, April 12, 2025, for the 6th Annual Farrah Turner Foundation 5K, a heartfelt event honoring the life and legacy of Investigator Farrah Turner. Farrah’s courage and devotion to protecting her community left an indelible mark on Florence, South Carolina, and beyond. This event is a chance to unite in remembrance, celebrate her legacy, and support the mission she inspired: to protect and serve children who are victims of sexual assault.

The Story Behind the Race

On October 3, 2018, our small community was shaken when Investigator Farrah Turner and six other officers were ambushed in Florence, SC. Farrah’s bravery and tenacity were evident as she fought for her life for 19 days before passing away on October 22, 2018. To honor her memory, the Farrah Turner Foundation was established to carry forward her passion for helping children in need.

Every step you take in this race supports the foundation’s mission to create a brighter future for children who have faced unimaginable hardships.

Why Participate?

This is more than a race; it’s a movement. Together, we can honor Farrah’s incredible sacrifice and support a cause that uplifts the most vulnerable in our community. Your participation directly contributes to the Farrah Turner Foundation’s mission of helping children who are survivors of sexual assault.

Let’s run, walk, and fly to the finish line in Farrah’s memory. Spread the word using #FlyWithFarrah and help us make this year’s event unforgettable.
