A fun day for the entire family. This race goes to support the local Postpartum chapter. You get a really nice shirt and bag as your swag. On race day there is so much fun stuff for the kids. This passed year it really out did itself. There were 2 jump castles, face painting, fear no easel was there with paintings for the kids to do for their moms, tons of vendors, a photo booth, post race food and water as well. The awards are for overall male/female top 3 as well as top 3 in each age group. The medals are very pretty. This race also gives awards for the largest groups to participate. If you get more than 20 people to join your team, you receive a $5 discount off of each registration.

The course starts at Blackbaud on Daniel Island as well as finishes there. The course takes you down a main road and through a few large parking lots due to restrictions this year with going through neighborhoods. The only downside was running through the parking lots. The race tried to make up for this by including a DJ in one of the parking lots.

My kids always have so much fun coming to this race and cheering me on. It is a very fun race and for a very good cause.

I ran the entire series this year. The series consists of 4 races over the course of the summer and there is a discount if you participate in all of the races.
The course is out on Daniel Island and runs through the trails. The course is a bit more difficult than most of the courses in Charleston. There is ample water stations and beautiful views.
If you sign up for the series you do get a different t-shirt with every race. Each racer gets a finishers medal that doubles as a bottle opener as well. Each race concludes at a different bar/restaurant where each racer gets 1 free beer as well. Awards are given to the top 3 overall male and female which this year was a really big prize basket from Fleet Feet sports. They included gift cards, balega socks, a hat, and water bottles. As well each winner of each age group received an award too which consisted of beer glasses or shot glasses.
Some of the restaurants/bars were a bit too small for how big of a group we had. The beer was usually bud light so it's nothing fancy that you get either.

Overall: It's nice to change it up with some trail running in Charleston and it is good "bang for your buck" as far as races go.

This is one of those fun races that includes our local baseball team! The Riverdogs Run Forrest Run 5k starts out in front of the baseball stadium and finishes on home plate.

The course is pretty easy. The downfall is that it will likely be extremely hot and humid, as is any race that you do during this time in Charleston, SC. The course takes you around hampton park and back up and along the water before you come in around the back side of the stadium, coming through to first base and finishing at home plate. The players are there to greet you with a high five when you finish.

Your entry fee includes your t-shirt, race, post race dinner which is usually catered by a local restaurant, and all the bud light you could drink. You also get a ticket to the baseball game that follows the race.

I've done this race for a few years now and I really think it's worth the money mainly because you get a ticket into the event. The dinner is always really good. One year we had wraps/sandwiches + Chips + apples. One year we had pasta dishes, salad, and bread. They have a beer station set up that allows you to have as much beer as you want as well.

There are really nice awards for top 3 overall male/female winners. Top 3 in each age group usually get a nice award too. One year we received really nice wood plaques with the baseball teams logo on it, two years ago we got pink baseball bats, and last year we got medals.

The baseball stadium has fun stuff like jump castles for the kids, delicious food for purchase, more beer, and games. My family always joins in for this race and we make a great afternoon out of it. The race is always held around 4pm on a Saturday evening.

This is absolutely the best series event in the Charleston area. Race the landing is a series of 5 races throughout the summer starting in May and ending in July on Thursday nights. If you sign up for all 5 races, you get 1 of them for free. There are so many amazing things I could say about this race, let me try and keep it simple.

The view: This race takes place in beautiful Charlestowne Landing park. It is absolutely gorgeous park!

The race: This is put on by some fantastic people. They know exactly what runners like. There is multiple aid stations along the course and volunteers to help direct you, if needed. The course is a full of turns so it isn't exactly a race that you are going to necessarily PR but it is an absolutely gorgeous course that is fairly flat. (there is one teeny tiny hill after the 2 mile mark)

Swag: If you sign up for the entire series you get a great technical shirt with the race logo on it. Each race you get a special gift too if you are one of the first 200 there. One week I got a tumbler cup, one week I got socks, one week was a runners light band.

Awards: There are finishers medals for everyone at every race. Each race has a different theme too so the awards are different each week. Awards go 5 deep in 5 year age groups which means almost everyone walks out with some awesome awards. One week our award was a large wooden sword.

Post race celebration: Every week is a different food theme and dinner & beer is included. Dinner usually consists of a choice of two different meats (example: Pulled pork or hamburgers), there are usually 2-3 sides like mac and cheese, cole slaw, or rice. There is usually a bread of some sort to go with it too. They are accomdating in that there is always a vegetarian and vegan option. Every runner also gets a beer from a different local brewery each week. Extra drink and food tickets are available as well.

There is also a kids run where the kids get medals as well. So this race is fun for the entire family.

Lastly, there is a great photographer who comes and does pictures of the runners which are beyond amazing quality.
