Description

This USATF sanctioned running festival is for all ages and offers four competitive courses (10-mile Run, 8K Run, 5K Run, 1-mile Youth Run), a 5K Fun Walk and a 1/4 mile Kid’s Fun Run. Participants can compete for the Beaufort Challenge title by running in both the 10-mile and 5K events.

After the races, stay and enjoy the party with gourmet food trucks and a live band — and of course, plenty of Lowcountry oysters! 

Last year, we had over 1500 participants and 200 volunteers.  We can’t wait to see everyone on March 19, 2016 in the Marketplace!

Course Info

All races start and end in the Habersham Marketplace! Look for a couple minor changes in the course this year to make the start and finish a little bit less crowded. Updated maps coming soon!

Beaufort Challenge – 5K + 8K – Participants run the 5K and then the 8K. The races start 75 minutes apart, so depending on your 5K time, there will be a break between runs. See below for course maps.

The 8K Run is a competitive, chip-timed event with awards (for complete award structure view the General Information Page). This is a fast, flat certified course on asphalt roads. It has gentle turns and generous straight-aways. The course loops through beautiful neighborhoods, along parks and marshes, and under grand oak trees.  It is also spectator friendly. Fans, friends and supporters can see the runners at the start, finish, and two times throughout the run from the same location. Please, no dogs or bikes are allowed on the 8K Run Course. Strollers are permitted, but we ask that all participants with strollers start at the back of the group. If you choose to run with headphones, please ensure that the volume is low enough that you can hear people around you. Many streets on this course are narrow and you must be aware of your surroundings. If you are seen wearing headphones and impeding others, you will be removed from the race.
