The Community Medical Clinic of Kershaw County is thrilled to announce the 18th Annual Clinic Classic Walk/Run, a community-driven event dedicated to raising funds for our mission of providing essential healthcare services and connecting resources to the underserved community in Kershaw County. This year’s Clinic Classic will be held on Saturday, April 26th, at Lyttleton Street United Methodist Church (1206 Lyttleton Street in Camden), where the race will start and end. Runners and walkers will wind their way through beautiful Historic Camden, beginning with the sound of the starter’s gun at 8 a.m. The event will be held rain or shine.
“The Clinic Classic is a beloved community tradition that brings people together year after year,” said Clinic Classic committee member Lynn Matthews. “We’ve worked hard to make this year’s run/walk extra special—an opportunity for families to enjoy time together and stay active. But more than that, every registration helps provide medical care for those in our community who need it most. We can’t wait to see everyone come out and support a healthier Kershaw County!”
For the past 18 years, the Clinic Classic has something to offer every family member. You choose your distance:
- $25 Camden Family Care 1 Mile Run/Walk
- $35 McDonald’s 5K Run/Walk with timing chip
- Add $5 for late registration (After March 27th)

We will also once again feature the Clinic Classic Challenge! Kershaw County School District Elementary Schools and Middle Schools can each compete for a $500 grand prize through the return of the “Clinic Classic Challenge.”
The school with the largest percentage of participation based on student enrollment will be awarded the prize funding, which can be used at the discretion of the school’s principal. We invite everyone to participate: all students, parents, friends, guardians, grandparents, siblings, teachers, administrators, and support staff! Online registration only.
