One of the most scenic and beautiful running events in the Lowcountry is happening again this year.

The James Island Connector Run begins at Folly Road & the James Island Expressway at 8AM. All runners, regardless of age or chosen distance, will take the same route across the James Island Connector with no exit ramps. The top finishers of the race will receive rewards and top placement medals; however, all runners will also receive finisher’s medals.
