2013 Edgewater Bridge Run 2013-04-06 : Not to be outdone by the Cooper River Bridge Run that happens on the same day, our neighborhood hosts their version of the "Welcome to Spring in Charleston" exercise opportunity later in the day. The t-shirts could be confused with the real deal, except this is a 0.1km run; the length of the bridge over the Coburg Creek on the approach to Edgewater Island. It has become a highly anticipated annual event, and the focal point of much community preparation and entertainment. Here are a couple of images from this afternoon. I think the winner was a kid who completed the run in under 10 seconds.
