Details
The 2009 running of South Carolina's annual Hilton Head Island Half
Marathon welcomed just over 360 participants for this South Carolina
resort island's fifth annual race, which is run to benefit the Hilton
Head Regional Medical Center's "Strive to Excel" program and the Hilton
Head Island Children's Memorial Garden. Fast and largely flat, this
scenic race course takes runners and walkers in the half marathon and
the 10K from the starting line at the island's Jarvis Creek Park along
a course that's made up mostly of paved roads and a few bike trails.
The race's only hills occur at the bridge over Broad Creek, which
crosses about a one-mile span (runners in the half-marathon cross the
bridge twice during the race).
Both the half marathon and the 10K start at 8:00 AM, and both races are
open to both runners and walkers -- the walking portion of the event
begins shortly after the runners leave the starting line. The course is
restricted to race participants until 11:00 AM, when it is opened again
to traffic.

3.3 inches of rainfall during the month.
