Bulldog Breakaway Twilight 5K 2026

The Bulldog Breakaway Twilight 5K is a summer Thursday-night race series in Charleston, South Carolina, held at The Citadel. Each race begins at 6:30 p.m. on the track at Willson Field, with packet pickup and day-of-race registration conducted there before the start. It is a USATF-certified 5K, measured for runners seeking an official course and for those simply looking for an evening run. The route commences on The Citadel track, proceeds for a lap around campus, passes through Summerall Gate, loops once around Hampton Park, then returns through the gate for another campus lap before finishing back on the track. Parking, restrooms, and race-day check-in are all located near Willson Field, simplifying logistics. Water is provided along the route and near the finish, and results are posted through TimingInc post-race.
