On the beautiful barrier island known as Kiawah Island, about 25 miles southwest of Charleston real estate, sits a breathtaking gated beach and golf resort with beautiful golf courses, stunning beaches, and spacious villas. This awe-inspiring environment has been the home of the Kiawah Island Golf Resort Marathon for 40 years, and the many racers who come from far and wide for this ultimate marathon experience are able to take advantage of all this spectacular resort has to offer. The runners who are not quite ready for the full marathon still have the option to participate in the 13.1 mile half marathon, and those who race in it are also able to qualify for the Boston Marathon just like the full marathon racers.
Run a Course Winding Through Gorgeous Coastal Charleston Real Estate
Many of the runners consider Charleston home and come out to the barrier island specifically for the marathons from their Charleston real estate. The courses begin and end in the lovely Island community of East Beach Village, and as the racers run they pass the amazing views of marshes, maritime forests, and distinguished homes that only this Island paradise can provide. As they say, “The only thing more wonderful than the scenery is the moment when you cross the finish line.” This is now the 40th year that the racers have been taking advantage of this life-changing marathon experience, and it promises to be just as memorable as ever.
Marathon packages, including two nights accommodation at the resort with housekeeping provided, the pre-race celebration on Friday night with its delicious buffet, and early registration for either the full or half marathon, are already available. Of course, the package rates vary depending on the event and the number of runners registering, as well as the type of accommodation that is chosen. Remember that the marathon entry fees are non-refundable. Those who sign up for either the full or half marathon before the 30th of November save $20 on the registration fee. Participants are encouraged to register as soon as possible as a limited number of entries are available. Runners in the half marathon must be at least 14, and those taking on the full marathon experience must be at least 18. Athletes with disabilities are always encouraged to join in the challenge and are asked to contact the resort after they register.
