The Course
​
The Race will start at 8am. Racers will begin at the designated point on Palm Boulevard and make a left onto the Isle of Palms Connector at the light and over the intra-coastal waterway. At the marked half-way point, the 5K runners and walkers will go around the barriers and water stations and race to the finish back to the Island on Palm Blvd.
The 10K runners will continue the full length of the IOP Connector just into the town of Mount Pleasant. Racers will be guided through the turn-around near the entrance to Seaside Farms at the marked half-way barriers and water stations. Don’t stop now! Finish the second half of the race by running straight back over the Connector and onto the IOP to join the awards and post race party.

Let's talk GUNTIME vs CHIPTIME ​
GUNTIME:
Refers to the time it takes to finish a race from when the starter’s gun is sounded until crossing the finish line, irrespective of when the competitor actually starts running.
CHIPTIME:
Refers to the time which it takes an individual to cross the start line and finish line.
-
It excludes how long it takes you to cross the start line after the gun goes.
-
Your Chip/Timing Device will already be attached to your Race BIB when you receive it in your Race Kit bag. Please DO NOT fold, remove, or damage the time chip in any way.
HOW WE USE THE TIMINGS IN THE RACES:
-
GUNTIME: the basis for determining overall winners
-
CHIPTIME: is used to calculate masters and age groups
