Bohicket 5k and Half at Seabrook Island

The Bohicket 5K and Half on Seabrook Island is a Lowcountry race in South Carolina, featuring a half marathon, 5K run, 5K walk, and a virtual half marathon option. It takes place regardless of weather and is organized with the Kiawah-Seabrook Exchange Club, Charleston Animal Society, and Charleston Running Club. Proceeds from the race support these organizations. The course offers runners views of sea island marshes, sections near the Atlantic Ocean, and roads lined with historic trees. Wildlife is present; runners might see island deer, various birds, and other native animals. Horses from the equestrian center have been observed running alongside the course from their enclosure. The event started as a 5K and 10K for the Lowcountry running community before expanding to its present 5K and half marathon format. Awards are extensive, covering overall, masters, grandmasters, great grandmasters, age-group, and age-graded categories, accommodating competitive runners, walkers, and local participants.

The Swamp Fox Ultra

The Swamp Fox Ultra takes place on the Swamp Fox Passage of the Palmetto Trail. It begins and ends at Buck Hall Landing in McClellanville, near Charleston, South Carolina. This trail race series offers distances from 10K to 100 miles, accommodating both short off-road runs and overnight ultras. The event starts in the morning, with the longest race extending into the following day, featuring generous cutoff times. Palmetto Ultras organizes the race, presented by Fleet Feet and Billy Simons Real Estate. The course follows lowcountry trails within Francis Marion National Forest. It includes singletrack, doubletrack, rooty woods paths, and fire roads, with only two brief paved road sections. The 100-mile race is an out-and-back course covering 52 miles before runners turn back towards the finish. The 50-mile, 50K, half marathon, and 10K also use out-and-back configurations instead of loops. Organizers state it is the sole trail race that crosses the entire Francis Marion National Forest. Aid stations are positioned along the route, drop bags can be sent to and returned from aid stations, and all finishers receive a race-logo camp mug. Those completing the 100-mile distance also receive a buckle.

About Half Marathon races in Charleston-North Charleston, SC

Charleston Lowcountry Training

Charleston-North Charleston, SC hosts 4 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Charleston from Hampton Park to the Battery, then cross the Ravenel Bridge when intervals need teeth. Waterfront Park to Battery gives three miles of quintessential Charleston views, and the Historic District turns easy Z2 into a little tour of colonial side streets. Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island handle beach miles, while Shem Creek to Pitt Street gives five miles through Old Village. Charleston Running Club, Let's Run CHS, Ethos athletic club, Fleet Feet Mount Pleasant, Black Girls RUN! Charleston, and Park Circle Pacers keep the week moving. Cooper River Bridge Run is the anchor, with Stoney 100, IOP 5K, and Floppin' Flounder 5K close behind.

Locals ride flat, salty base miles on West Ashley Greenway, West Ashley Bikeway, James Island Connector, and the Ravenel Bridge Path. Coastal Cyclists sets the tone, and Trek Bikes of Mt. Pleasant keeps Barn Jam and the 10 AM Social Ride in the rotation. Awendaw A Ride covers 41 miles at a 23 MPH average, while Awendaw B Ride usually runs 32 miles at 19-21 MPH. The route runs 7 km and gains 143 m, so gran fondo legs get work. Ravenel Bridge owns the climbs here, and Swamp Fox Passage, Awendaw Passage, Brick Church Rd to Hoover Rd, and Wando Road to Brick Church Road cover gravel and dirt.

Spring from March through May and fall from September through November give runners and cyclists the best conditions. Summer brings hot and muggy conditions, so locals start early, hydrate, and keep hard work short unless the plan says otherwise. Water temperatures typically range from 72-78°F, and beach runs can end with legs in the ocean by choice. Winter stays mild compared with northern climates, so clubs keep showing up and rides go rain or shine. The city sits at 2 m elevation, and Ravenel Bridge still makes the only steady climb feel honest.
