Historic Georgetown Bridge2Bridge Run

The Half-Marathon, 12K & 5K routes will start and finish in the hub of the city on Front Street in Historic Downtown Georgetown. The race starts at the Rice Museum's Clock Tower and head down Front Street toward East Bay Park area where runners will be greeted by lovely views of Winyah Bay. As you circle the park, off in the distance you will get your first glimpse of the two bridges that cross the Black and Waccamaw Rivers. Upon leaving East Bay Park, the course takes you through a residential area showcasing Georgetown’s signature tree-lined streets and beautiful lowcountry architecture. 5K runners will continue through the historic district and cross the finish line on Front Street at Francis Marion Park. Runners pressing on in the the 12K and Half-Marathon course will proceed onto US Highway 17 where their next immediate focus will be to cross Georgetown’s gateway bridges. This early morning race will surely provide amazing panoramic sunrise views of Winyah Bay, with Hobcaw Barony creating a splendid natural background.  Mile 6 will put the half marathon and 12K runners back in town where they will run through the historic district.  The 12K runners will make their turn to the finish line on Front Street around mile 7 while the Half-Marathon runners will prepare for the Sampit River Bridge and Cravens Grant neighborhood, which overlooks the other side of Winyah Bay.  Around Mile 11.5, our half-marathoners will be on their last leg of our 3 bridges and will have an incredible view of our harbor and downtown Georgetown over their right shoulder.  Our race course is a great "run through history" with unique perspectives of our charming town.
