The MGC Long Run returns to Columbia on Saturday, February 2. Net proceeds from the MGC Long Run will benefit the USO South Carolina, an organization whose mission is to strengthen America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home, and country throughout their service to the nation.

The MGC Long Run has a race for everyone – 15k Road Race, 5k Run/Walk, and a half-mile Kids’ Fun Run. The races will begin and end at the First Citizens Plaza, located at the corner of Lady St. and Main St. Runners, walkers, volunteers, and spectators are encouraged to join the family-friendly race party taking place in the First Citizens Plaza.

The MGC Long Run is presented by McAngus Goudelock & Courie (MGC), a regional insurance defense firm headquartered in Columbia. MGC launched the inaugural Long Run in 2014 as a way to give back to the Midlands community where the firm was founded. The MGC Long Run has raised nearly $125,000 for nonprofit organizations over the past five years. Last year’s race had more than 600 runners and walkers and 125 volunteers.
