The
Charlie Post Classic takes place on beautiful Sullivan's Island, SC. The course is USTAF
certified and very flat and fast. Temperatures vary from cold to mild
and lend themselves to fast running. The 2012 race will improve on the 2011 race in several ways: more
porta-jons, more water, more volunteers and better signage at the
5K/15K split.

The Charleston Running Club
Charleston, South Carolina is the home of some of the most magnificent running routes in the country. Whether you are a lifelong resident or a short term visitor, we want you to explore the Lowcountry by running through our historic city streets, along our scenic beaches or across the Cooper River Bridge.
Since 1977 the Charleston Running Club has been promoting running in the local running community. Early on we were instrumental in starting two of the area's largest races, the Cooper River Bridge Run and the Kiawah Marathon. While we don't direct either of these races anymore, we are represented on the board of the Bridge Run and we host the Charlie Post Classic 15K/5K in January along with the Floppin’ Flounder 5K in June.
With over 300 members, we welcome all running abilities. Our diverse group includes first time runners along with some of South Carolina’s elite runners. We all come together on the second Wednesday of the month to share our running stories, find new running partners, listen to a guest speaker or go for a group run. In addition to the social benefits, our members receive discounts on races, free training clinics, a great breakfast after the Cooper River Bridge Run and discounts from local retailers.
