Detours
The Charleston Half Marathon is produced in close partnership with the City of Charleston, and City of Charleston Police. The race starts at 7:00 AM on President Street. This is a local community-building event that showcases the best parts of Charleston, including many neighborhoods with churches. We are committed to providing the members of our community advance notice of roads impacted. You will see the following appear around town in the weeks before the race: Postcards mailed to every resident and business on or near the racecourse
Road Closures
Roads utilized for the race course will be closed and reopened on a rolling basis as runners pass through the course. See the chart below for specific locations along the course.
Police and course monitors will be positioned at each intersection on the course. Detours and alternate routes will be supported by Charleston Police & course marshals. At certain intersections, cars may be assisted across the course when deemed safe by the officer in charge. Please be patient as it may take a few minutes to find a large enough break in the participants to help you across.
