Registration spaces for the bridge race are running out

CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) – The Cooper River Bridge Race is just days away, but with a lower than usual cap on the total number of participants this year, organizers say the space is counted.

Out of 25,000 places, all individual registrations for the in-person event are now sold out.

However, organizers say runners can still register through their individual virtual registration and charity registration packages.

The individual virtual registration includes a t-shirt and a finishers medal. Organizers say it costs $ 45, but registration ends at midnight Wednesday.

Charity Connection registration includes a direct donation to one of 10 charities. Some of this year’s charities include the Alzheimer’s Association, the South Carolina Special Olympics, Ronald McDonald House, and more. Organizers say that registration costs $ 150.

As a safety measure, race organizers say they have limited the race to just over half of the typical 40,000 from previous years.

It is important to keep in mind that all participants must show proof of a COVID-19 vaccine or negative COVID-19 test submitted by Wednesday.

Those interested in the remaining two entries can find more information on the Bridge Run website.

The Bridge Run also offers a full schedule of bus routes for the day.
