About the Event

Floppin’ Flounder 5K Run and Walk is one of Charleston’s favorite races.

Presented by the Charleston Running Club (CRC) with help from the Sullivan’s Island Fire & Rescue Department., this race has had a loyal following for over 25 years. We offer a 5K Run and a walk option, and all participants receive a race t-shirt and finishers medal.
