America’s 15-mile race is a scenic but challenging course, starting at our majestic State Capitol, taking you through downtown, rolling through our beautiful hillside neighborhoods, and along Charleston’s riverfront. We offer three events: a 15-mile run, a 3-person 15-mile relay, and a 5k run/walk.

Thanks to our sponsors
