No doubt about it, the thermometer has dipped and winter has issued plenty of notice that it’s here. Still, there is no reason to stay huddled in your igloo all season.
The Charleston Winter Series Walk/Runs offers a great opportunity to get outside and start moving. Don’t miss your chance to participate in the third and final installment of the series on Sunday, Feb 3. A 5,000-meter walk (3.1 miles) is scheduled for 1 p.m. and a 10,000-meter run is slated for 2 p.m.
All events start at 31st Street and Virginia Avenue, and registration is at Charleston Area Medical Center Memorial Hospital.
Sponsored by the Tallman Track Club and the city of Charleston, the Winter Series offers events in December, January and February to encourage fitness.
Same day registration for the event is $20. The courses are flat, marked and there will be traffic control at major intersections.
Runners and walkers who finish all three events in the series will receive a hooded sweatshirt. There are no age group awards in the walk, just the top three females and males. In the run, the top female and male will win awards. The run also has age group awards of at least three deep, but 25 percent will win awards in big age groups.
