Run, Charleston, Run

       Running seems to be what November is all about. I guess that’s preventive medicine with the holiday parties coming up. 2008 Lean and Green 5K run will be at Brittlebank Park on the 8th.

The Holiday Festival of Lights Fun Run /Walk will open the season with this 2 mile non-competitive event on the 15th at James Island County Park.

The Charleston Tea Plantation 5K Memorial Run/Walk on the morning of the 15th will honor Faye Mitchell, longtime employee and lifelong Wadmalaw resident. Funds raised on her behalf will go to MUSC for lung cancer research.

The 24th Annual Run for Thanks in Pinopolis will benefit the children of Berkeley County. Runners should bring canned goods to donate to the local food bank.

The iconic Turkey Day Run and Gobble Wobble is Thanksgiving morning. For over 30 years the Knights of Columbus have sponsored the event, now second only to the Cooper River Bridge run in size. Be at Marion Square at 9 am on the 27th. 

You could look at all of these runs as a tune-up for the…Mark your Calendar Stiletto Stampede  coming to Mt Pleasant March 21st and benefiting the MUSC Children’s Center. Gotta see that one!!!!!!!!
