Experience one of the most scenic races in the Southeast. The Kiawah Island Marathon and Half Marathon take runners through a breathtaking course of maritime forests, salt marshes, and quiet residential enclaves, all framed by the Atlantic shoreline. The flat, fast course makes it a favorite for Boston qualifiers and recreational runners alike.
The race begins and ends in West Beach Village, with post-race festivities featuring live music, local fare, and well-earned refreshments. Even if you’re not running, it’s a wonderful event to cheer on participants and soak in the island’s community spirit.
Whether you’re joining as a competitor or supporter, the marathon offers a perfect reason to explore Kiawah Island’s pristine landscapes and relaxed coastal charm.
