Race Info

The Isle of Palms Connector officially opened in October 1993 with the inaugural Isle of Palms Connector Run and Walk. This year's race will be on Saturday October 4, 2008. The Exchange Clubs of Mount Pleasant and the Isle of Palms, the City of Isle of Palms, the Town of Mount Pleasant and the MUSC Children's Hospital are proud to sponsor the race this year. We look forward to the participation of all sponsors, participants and volunteers in making this race a success. 100% of the net proceeds from this event support the local prevention of child abuse and other child-related programs. The Run and Walk will start at 8 a.m. beginning at the foot of the connector on Palm Boulevard (Isle of Palms side of connector). 10K and 5K runners and walkers will all do a loop (of varying distances) on the connector finishing at the Isle of Palms. The great vistas afforded from the marshes and Atlantic Ocean make the Isle of Palms Connector Run and Walk one of the most popular and fastest growing events in South Carolina.
