Cooper River Bridge Run
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cooper River Bridge Run is a 10-kilometer (6.2 mi) one-way road running event across the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge held in the cities of Mount Pleasant and Charleston in South Carolina, on the first Saturday in April (had been first Sunday of April in 1978, first Saturday in April from 1979 to its last running in 2019, unless that Saturday is Holy Week). The Bridge Run is the only competition in South Carolina sanctioned by USA Track and Field as an elite event. Based on number of race finishers, the event is the third largest 10K and the fifth largest road race in the United States.[1]

The 42nd annual Bridge Run held in April 2019 was the last annual race. Two Bridge Runs were held within six months of each other, the 43rd on September 25, 2021, and the 44th on April 2, 2022. There was no race in 2020 as scheduling logistics precluded an attempt at a summer race even though road races had resumed in the state by June.
