BEFORE 9:45 AM:
AFTER 9:45 AM, THERE WILL BE RACE TRAFFIC BETWEEN:
To avoid traffic during these times, you may enter the Kiawah River community via River Rd. onto Mullet Hall Rd. For this route, please use 2501 Mullet Hall Rd. in your GPS. Traffic is expected to return to normal following the completion of each race.

Q: Is the race chip-timed?
A: Yes! The 5K is chip-timed by Charleston Road Race Services. The race will start with a shotgun start, so everyone’s official time begins when the horn sounds.
