The Annual Edgewater Park Bridge Run

Not to be outdone by the Cooper River Bridge Run that happens on the same day, our neighborhood hosts their version of the "Welcome to Spring in Charleston" exercise opportunity later in the day. The t-shirts could be confused with the real deal, except this is a 0.1km run; the length of the bridge over the Coburg Creek on the approach to Edgewater Island. It has become a highly anticipated annual event, and the focal point of much community preparation and entertainment. Here are a couple of images from yesterday's event.  There were two heats; one for the 6 and unders, and the other for everyone else. The winners are usually kids who complete the run in under 10 seconds. Actually I believe the run serves merely as an opening act for the real deal which is the after party :)
