The Charleston Itty Bitty 50 is the sister / brother event to the Charleston 100 (not the same date). There is a $1 donation to enter this fun run.
The first ever Charleston 100 Miler was held in 2018. Nineteen runners started the race and nine finished this epic journey across Charleston County, South Carolina. Changed to an out and back in 2019.
Tthe Charleston Itty Bitty 50 was added as an alternative to the full 100 mile distance. Runners will start at the turn around spot for the Charleston 100 and run a point to point 50 miler, giving runners a chance to experience the beauty of the Lowcountry during the day and night.
The 50 miler starts at the end of the Charleston West Ashley Greenway (this is the turnaround point for the Charleston 100) at 6am (all runners will start at the same time this year). From the West Ashley Greenway runners will go over the Ashley River Bridge, down to the Citadel and around Hampton Park, around the Charleston peninsula, over the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, through Mount Pleasant’s Old Village, around Sullivan’s Island, across the Isle of Palms, over the IOP connector and up Hwy 17 North to the Peyton Johnson Moore Track and Field at Park West in Mount Pleasant.
Please note that this is a self supported, non sanctioned event. Roads will be open and there will be no scheduled aid or markings on the course. There are plenty of gas stations, restaurants, parks and bars along this route to refuel. The Charleston Running Community is amazing and many have supported runners along the route. Of course you are welcome to sucker, I mean talk, your friends into crewing for you as well.
Again, runners will be responsible for getting to the starting line, finish line and eventually home (we will NOT transport you back to your car at the end).
There is no actual fee for this event, because…
…this is a self supported, non sanctioned event.
Finisher times will be monitored until 11:59pm Sunday (that gives you about 18 hours to run 50 miles). Oh, finishers will complete four laps around the track at the end to complete their 50 miles. The final 400 meters (last lap) will be a separate timed 400 meter event. Because that’s what we do!
Note: The $1 donation for this fun run is to the Peyton Johnson Moore Fund.
