From staff reports
The Beaufort Twilight Run (BTR), presented by Habersham Properties, will take place on Saturday, March 22, 2025 at Beaufort’s Habersham Marketplace with packet pickup on Thursday, March 20 at Riverview Charter School.
As a fundraiser for Riverview Charter School, this year’s event is expected to support Capstone trips and local field trips, enriching students’ educational journey and fostering a deeper understanding of various subjects through real-world experiences. Race and festivities take place from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 22.
Known as “The Lowcountry’s Running Festival,” the BTR is a USA Track and Field (USATF) sanctioned event that is chip-timed by Grounded Running and offers more race options than any other event in the Lowcountry – drawing both competitive runners and recreational participants.
The BTR offers six options for runners and walkers at all levels including a signature 13.1 Mile Beaufort Challenge (5K Run + 10 Mile), 10 Mile Run, 8K Run, 5K Run/Walk, 1 Mile Youth Run, and Kids’ Fun Run. The BTR is one of two events in South Carolina offering a 10 mile run.
All courses are flat and spectator-friendly, offering beautiful marsh views under shaded live-oak canopies.
The BTR’s awards cash payouts in the 13.1 Mile Beaufort Challenge, 10 Mile Run, 8K Run and 5K Run. Categories include the three overall male and female winners of each of those races, as well as for the top male and female, and Active Duty Military. In addition to cash prizes, age group winners will receive BTR swag for their accomplishments.
For more information and to register, please visit www.BTR2025.com. Discounts are also available for students, groups of ten or more, and active-duty military.
The BTR’s mission is to host a fun, competitive and memorable annual event for Beaufort to benefit Riverview Charter School – a free public school open to Beaufort County kindergarten through eighth-grade students.
Events will be held rain or shine. For more information, visit www.BeaufortTwilightRun.com.
