2026 Edisto Beach Road Race

The Edisto Beach Road Race begins within Wyndham Ocean Ridge Resort on Sea Cloud Circle, close to the Wyndham Recreation Center and Water's Edge Cafe. This pre-Thanksgiving race for the beach community features a 5K run/walk in the morning, followed by a 1-mile run/walk. The event is also known as the Gobble Wobble 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run, reflecting its holiday timing and casual atmosphere. The course follows Wyndham and adjacent side streets on Edisto Beach, deviating from a typical urban road race format. The 5K offers overall awards for the top three male and female finishers, along with age-group awards for participants from children to those in their fifties. The 1-mile event also includes overall awards, ensuring that walkers and shorter-distance runners are recognized on race day. A mimosa bar at the finish and a best-dressed award contribute to the morning's local holiday character, distinguishing it from a purely competitive road race.
