The first ever Charleston 100 Miler was held in 2018. Nineteen runners started and nine finished this epic journey across Charleston County, South Carolina. Changed to an out and back in 2019, participants ran across some of the most beautiful parts of Charleston County, South Carolina, and then ran back to the start for a 400 meter separately timed event.
The seventh and final running of the Charleston 100 was held on December 27-28, 2024. The Charleston Itty Bitty 50 was created in 2022. Surprisingly, it is half the distance of the Charleston 100. Runners start at the end of the West Ashley Greenway and run to Peyton's Rock in Mount Pleasant. This event will continue in 2025.
Qualifiers for the Charleston 100 and Charleston Itty Bitty 50 include Leadville 100, Hardrock 100, Western States 100 or any local 5K (run or walk).
Charleston 100
This is an out and back route that will give runners a chance to experience the beauty of the Lowcountry during the day and night. We will start at the Peyton Johnson Moore Track and Field at Park West in Mount Pleasant Friday at 6am (all runners will start at the same time). Runners will run down Hwy 17 South to the Isle of Palms, run around Sullivan's Island, through Mount Pleasant's Old Village, over the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, go around the Charleston peninsula, over the Ashley River Bridge to the end of the West Ashley Greenway and then return the same way.
Charleston Itty Bitty 50
This is a point to point route that will give runners a chance to experience the beauty of the Lowcountry during the day and night (if it takes them that long). Runners will start at the John's Island side of the West Ashley Greenway, go to the end at Folly Road and then cross the Ashley River Bridge, go around the Charleston peninsula, over the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, through Mount Pleasant's Old Village, run around Sullivan's Island, run through Isle of Palms, over the Isle of Palms Connector and then up Hwy 17 to the Peyton Johnson Moore Track and Field at Park West in Mount Pleasant.
Please note that both the Charleston 100 and the Charleston Itty Bitty 50 are self supported, non certified events. Roads will be open and there will be no scheduled aid or markings on the course. There are plenty of gas stations, restaurants, parks and bars along this route to refuel. The Charleston Running Community is amazing and many have supported runners along the route. Of course you are welcome to sucker, I mean talk, your friends into crewing for you as well.
Again, runners will be responsible for getting to the starting line, finish line and eventually home.
There is no actual fee for this event, because...
...this is a self supported, non certified event.
Oh, finishers will complete one laps around the track at the end to complete their 100 and 50 miles. That final 400 meters (lap) will be a separate timed 400 meter (but still part of your total miles and time). Because that's what we do!
Note: The $1 donation for this fun run is to the Peyton Johnson Moore Fund and is used so we can add a waitlist. You can learn more about Peyton Johnson Moore at www.RUN4P.com
