Looking for a race with tons of Southern charm? Look no further than the Cooper River Bridge Run, a point-to-point race from Mt. Pleasant, SC, to downtown Charleston. A spectacular run over the Cooper River Bridge makes this a challenging but unique 10K, and the views from the top make the burn over the bridge worth it.

And the post-race party? Runners cited a“huge live band” and “lots of food and drink specials at the local bars” as major pluses. If you were ever looking for another excuse to visit Charleston, pretty sure you just found it.
