When: Saturday, September 22, 2012
Where: Folly Beach, SC - Race starts on the beach in front of Tides Hotel
Run for the Coast was founded on the idea that we need to enjoy all outdoor and recreational areas with a sense of responsibility and environmental stewardship. This means reducing our impact on the areas where we love to surf, climb, run, kayak, hike, or simply take in the view. It is up to us and future generations to make sure everyone can continue to enjoy these amazing places. Run for the Coast will be held right along the beautiful coast of Folly Beach, and will strive to be as Green and low-impact as possible.
*Proceeds will benefit the Charleston Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. -Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves and beaches for all people, through conservation, activism, research and education (C.A.R.E). -The Charleston Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation concentrates on keeping our beaches and waterways free of trash to keep the Lowcountry beautiful, for your enjoyment.
