The James Island Connector Run is a popular annual road race that takes participants across the scenic James Island Connector with sweeping views of the Ashley River and Charleston skyline. Runners and walkers can choose from an 8 km run, a 5 km run/run-walk, or a 5 km walk, making the event accessible to a wide range of fitness levels. Known for its unique course over a major bridge usually closed to pedestrians, the race offers a one-of-a-kind experience in the Lowcountry. Beyond the run, it also serves as a community fundraiser, supporting local causes while bringing together participants of all ages and abilities.
