Charleston Running Club We're a non-profit organization of 700+ runners and walkers in Charleston, South Carolina.

The Charleston Running Club promotes, encourages, and organizes running activities in the Charleston, SC, area. Whether you're a lifelong resident or a short term visitor, we want you to explore the Lowcountry by running through our historic city streets, along our scenic beaches, or across the Cooper River Bridge. In the 1970s, our club helped start two of the area's largest races, the Cooper River Bridge Run and the Kiawah Marathon. Today, we host the Charlie Post Classic 15K/5K in January, the Floppin’ Flounder 5K in June, and the James Island Connector Run in October. We welcome and embrace all runners, whether you're a beginner or one of South Carolina's elite runners. Our club hosts group runs, socials, educational speakers, and volunteers in our community. In addition to the social benefits, you'll receive discounts on races, free training clinics, breakfast at the Cooper River Bridge Run finish lines, and an annual holiday party. No matter where you are on your running journey, you'll find a welcoming community in Charleston Running Club.
