This is a really well done race. The Expo is easy to get to and traverse, it isn't huge but there is stuff to see and getting you big and swag is very easy. Race morning is again, easy to get to, and they had the school opened up so we could stay inside (it was in the 30s race morning) which was nice. Marathoners take off first, then the half marathoners go off 15 minutes later. There is still some clustering at the beginning but overall it spread out quickly. You get to run around the Citadel, then along the cost and see the Ocean and the beautiful old houses, really pretty. After that you run through downtown which is fun and you get to see more beautiful old houses. After that you do run through an industrial area, not pretty but not horrible. There is one hill, yes one, over a bridge and that is it, it is pretty much all flat.

The after party is nice, and in a big park so you can move around. We got free shrimp and grits which were delicious. Also you got 2 free beers if you wanted, that is nice.

Overall, I really enjoyed this race, it is smaller, and not a ton of crowd support but I still really enjoyed it. I ran with the 2:45 pacers and they were excellent with keeping the pace and fun to chat with.

I would highly recommend this race if you are looking for something in South Carolina, also make for a great winter race if you are looking to get away from the snow.
