SELMA — My Kid's Club proudly announces the 48th Annual Selma Railroad Run 5K on Saturday, September 14 at 8:30 a.m.

As the oldest 5K in North Carolina, the event marks the kick off for Selma's Railroad Days Festival. It offers participants a chance to experience a fast, flat and USATF-certified course through downtown Selma.

Since its inception in 1976, the Selma Railroad Run 5K has drawn runners and walkers of all ages. All proceeds from the event support My Kid's Club's mission to provide essential after-school and summer camp programming that benefits more than 150 local students aged 6-16 each year. These programs aim to build the skills and attitudes necessary for academic success and career readiness.

“We are thrilled to continue this long-standing tradition, which not only brings our community together, but also directly supports our mission to empower local youth," said Lynn Stanley, Interim Executive Director of My Kid's Club. "Every step taken during this race helps us provide essential programs that make a real difference in the lives of our students."
