Bohicket Half and 5K November 21

Bohicket Half Marathon and 5K
November 21, 2020
Start time: 8:00 am
Bohicket Marina

The Charleston Running Club is once again proud to present the Bohicket Half & 5K on Saturday, November 21, 2020. This is the only locally organized half marathon in the Lowcountry. Now in its third year, this road race is for the benefit of the Kiawah – Seabrook Exchange Club and the Charleston Running Club.

While plans are in place to ensure that this event can be held safely, there is always a chance that permission will be withdrawn and the event will not be held.

To ensure the safety of runners and volunteers, the following precautions will be in place:

  • Each runner will receive a gaiter provided by the Cooper River Bridge Run to wear during the event.
  • The starting area will be divided with caution tape into five 6′ lanes and then marked with lines every 8′ crosswise.
  • All on-course water and Gatorade will be served in unopened 12-oz. bottles.
  • Bathrooms will be professionally sanitized after every use.
  • Five (5) wave starts will allow 1-minute distance between each wave of runners; between 40 – 50 runners per wave.
  • Afterward, party refreshments will be provided on the Boardwalk with proper social distancing observed.
  • All runners will have their temperature checked before entering corral.
  • Awards will be available post run with proper social distancing observed.
  • All awards timing will be by chip time only due to wave starting.

Chili Cook-Off Cancelled

Dear Friends, Donors, and Backpack Buddies Supporters:

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak and all the necessary precautions around the spreading of the virus, we have decided to cancel the 6th annual Chili Cook-Off which was scheduled for March 21. We are saddened by this turn of events as this is our biggest fundraiser of the year, but everyone’s health comes first and the demographics of our island population is most at risk.

We will, however, continue the Gorski and Friends Challenge which is an additional fundraiser to the Chili Cook-Off. As you know, the Cook-Off is a fundraiser that benefits the Kiawah Women’s Foundation’s Backpack Buddies and Backpack Buddies Seabrook Island. Both group’s mission is to feed local, at risk of hunger, school children over the weekends. Together we feed 540 children every week. The results of the Gorski and Friends Challenge is usually presented at the closing of the Chili Cook-Off each year. Mike will still announce the results of the Challenge on March 21 at 4 pm, but this year it will be done through email, social media, etc.

Twenty-eight very generous companies have collectively pledged $28,000 in matching funds and now it is up to the residents of Kiawah and Seabrook Islands to match those funds. We are closing in but still need some help to cross the finish line before March 21. Your donation doubles in value for this great cause.

To the 28 company sponsors and those residents who have already donated, a big thank you. We cannot adequately express our appreciation for your support and generosity. We hope to raise additional funds in the absence of the Chili Cook-Off event, but we need everyone’s help to reach the goal. Making a donation is very easy. Just call or text Mike Gorski at 864-316-3894 and tell him your donation amount or send your check directly to Kiawah Women’s Foundation at 535 Bufflehead or to the Backpack Buddies Seabrook Island at 2460 Cat Tail Pond Rd, SI. If you send a check directly to Kiawah Women’s Foundation or Backpack Buddies Seabrook, please just text Mike at 864-316-3894 with your name and donation amount as he is keeping a “real-time tally.”

We appreciate all your support to our backpack buddies kids.
