All Beaufort Twilight Run races start at LeChene Circle, just beyond Habersham Marketplace where all races will finish and where the after party will take place. This USATF-sanctioned running festival is for all ages and offers four competitive courses:
13.1 Beaufort Challenge: 10 mile + 5K = 13.1 miles!
Participants in the Challenge will run both the 5K and the 10 mile races. The starts are 60 minutes apart, so depending on your 5K time, there will be a break between runs.
10 mile Run
The 10 mile Run was a new addition two years ago to our competitive, chip-timed events with awards (for complete award structure view the General Information page). Runners in this event will complete two loops of a fast, flat certified course on asphalt roads. It has gentle turns and generous straight-aways. The course loops through beautiful neighborhoods, along parks and marshes, and under grand oak trees. It is also spectator friendly. Fans, friends and supporters can see the runners at the start, finish, and six times throughout the run from the same general location.
No dogs or bikes are allowed on the 10 mile Run Course. Strollers are permitted, but we ask that all participants with strollers start at the back of the group. If you choose to run with headphones, please ensure that the volume is low enough that you can hear people around you. Many streets on this course are narrow and you must be aware of your surroundings. If you are seen wearing headphones and impeding others, you will be removed from the race.
8K Run
The 8K Run is also a competitive, chip-timed event with awards (for complete award structure view the General Information page). This course mirrors the first loop of the 10-mile run so runners will enjoy the same gentle turns, generous straight-aways and fabulous views.
No dogs or bikes are allowed on the 8K Run Course. Strollers are permitted, but we ask that all participants with strollers start at the back of the group. If you choose to run with headphones, please ensure that the volume is low enough that you can hear people around you. Many streets on this course are narrow and you must be aware of your surroundings. If you are seen wearing headphones and impeding others, you will be removed from the race.
5K Run & Fun Walk
The 5K Run is a competitive, chip-timed event with awards(for complete award structure view the General Information page). The 5K Fun walk is not timed and no awards are given. The run and walk will start at the same time and follow the same course, but the walkers will be lined up separately from the runners. No dogs or bikes are permitted in the run. Strollers are permitted but we ask that runners participants with strollers start at the back of the run group.
The walk is pet and stroller friendly. All dogs must be on leashes. Please be conscientious of runners and do not block their path. Children under the age of 5 may walk with their parents/guardians for no extra charge, but will not receive a T-shirt without paid registration. No bikes are allowed on this course. If you choose to run with headphones, please ensure that the volume is low enough that you can hear people around you. Many streets on this course are narrow and you must be aware of your surroundings. If you are seen wearing headphones and impeding others, you will be removed from the race.
Youth Mile Run
Kids of all ages are welcome to participate in all of the BTR races, but for those 5 – 14 years old who want a shorter piece of the action, the Youth Run is perfect! All runners in this race will receive a giveaway.
Kids’ Fun Run
This ¼ mile loop is exclusively for children under 8 years of age. The first 300 participants to register will receive a medal.
