Black Creek Arts Council - Happy Little Tri & Fun Run
“IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO DO SOMETHING EVERY DAY
THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY.” – BOB ROSS
Happy Little Tri
A wellness experience like no other — the Happy Little Tri combines yoga, a 5K run/walk, and painting into one joyful event!
Start your day with a grounding yoga session to stretch and reset, followed by an energizing 5K through the heart of downtown Hartsville. After crossing the finish line, cool down with a relaxed guided painting session that lets your creativity shine.
It’s the ultimate mind-body-art combo designed to make you smile from the inside out!
JUST WANT TO RUN?
No problem! Register only for the 5K and skip the yoga and painting portions. Either way, you’ll be part of a fun, inclusive, and uplifting community event that supports local art education.
