Cooper River Bridge Run

Charleston, South Carolina is known for being one of America’s most picturesque cities. After crossing the finish line, runners can stroll through the city’s cobblestone streets, take in the colorful row houses of Rainbow Row, or tour antebellum mansions and historic churches that date back centuries. Food lovers will find no shortage — from fresh oysters on the waterfront to classic Lowcountry dishes like she-crab soup and shrimp and grits. The Ravenel Bridge, centerpiece of the race, connects historic Charleston with the laid-back town of Mount Pleasant, offering panoramic views of Charleston Harbor.
