Oconee County Memorial Day 5K
Join us in downtown Walhalla for a meaningful Memorial Day weekend 5K that supports local veterans and honors those who served.
This race is hosted by Golden Corner Veterans Support Group (GCVSG), a 501(c)(3) made up of members from Oconee County Emergency Services (OCES) in Walhalla, SC.
Proceeds benefit the Oconee County Veterans Council, Inc. (OCVC), a coalition of members from 10 veteran organizations and the Oconee Military Museum at Patriots Hall across Oconee County that meets quarterly at the VA Office in Walhalla. Funds raised by GCVSG are donated directly to the OCVC Relief Assistance Program (RAP), which provides evaluated relief assistance to Oconee County veterans in need.

Silent Litter Carry (SLC)
We also host a Silent Litter Carry walk of the course to honor the “22 a day” initiative for veterans lost to suicide. When the litter team reaches Memorial Park on Main Street (in front of the courthouse), they stop, kneel, share a prayer, and Taps is played.
Memorial Ceremony (Noon)
There is also a Memorial Ceremony at the Walhalla Performing Arts venue around 12:00 PM. We’d love to help connect runners and spectators to this ceremony as part of a full morning of remembrance.
