Set for its 10th annual running, this historic seaport city draws more than 400 runners each year for its Historic Georgetown Half Marathon, 12K & 5K, which takes the field on a tour of the third-oldest city in the state, located at the confluence of three rivers and just down the coast from some of South Carolina’s most famous island resorts.

The out-and-back route for half marathon will start and finish in the hub of the city on Front Street in historic downtown Georgetown. After running past downtown’s eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, and historic landmarks, including the famous clock tower at the Rice Museum, the course quickly transitions into the East Bay Park area where runners will be greeted by lovely views of Winyah Bay. As you circle the park, off in the distance you will get your first glimpse of one of the notable features of this Half Marathon; the two bridges that cross the Black and Waccamaw Rivers. Upon leaving East Bay Park the course passes through a residential area showcasing Georgetown’s signature tree-lined streets and beautiful lowcountry architecture. From there, the route proceeds onto US Highway 17 where the next immediate focus will be to cross Georgetown’s gateway bridges. This early morning race will surely provide amazing panoramic sunrise views of Winyah Bay, with Hobcaw Barony creating a splendid natural background. After the turn-around you will cross the bridges again and head straight back towards the historic district of Georgetown. The race will follow Prince Street, a corridor of majestic trees, historic homes, churches, museums, and significant cultural landmarks. Here, runners will experience vintage Georgetown as they begin the second half of the race. The course then reconnects with Highway 17 and heads towards the southern end of Georgetown.
