Get ready for "The Lowcountry's Running Festival" at the 15th Annual Beaufort Twilight Run on Saturday, March 28, 2026, in beautiful Beaufort, SC. This USATF-sanctioned event offers a diverse range of distances, including a 10-mile, 8K, 5K, and 1-mile, alongside a 5K Fun Walk and 1/4-mile Kids' Fun Run. For those seeking an extra challenge, the "13.1 Beaufort Challenge" invites runners to complete both the 5K and 10-mile races. Typical race day conditions in late March boast pleasant highs around 72°F and lows near 51°F, with only a 12% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

The Beaufort Twilight Run is renowned for its fast, flat, and certified asphalt courses. Runners will enjoy a scenic journey through charming neighborhoods, passing along picturesque parks and marshes, and under the magnificent canopy of grand oak trees draped with Spanish moss. The routes are designed with gentle turns and generous straightaways, making them exceptionally spectator-friendly, allowing friends and family to cheer on participants multiple times. Starting at LeChene Circle and culminating at the vibrant Habersham Marketplace, this event promises a memorable experience for all.

Beyond the competitive spirit, the Beaufort Twilight Run is celebrated for its welcoming atmosphere and the lively post-race party at Habersham Marketplace, featuring gourmet food trucks and live music. As one of only two events in South Carolina to offer a 10-mile distance, it draws runners from across the region and beyond, all while supporting the Riverview Charter School. With a prize purse exceeding $6,000 and age group awards, this festival combines stunning Lowcountry scenery with a fantastic community celebration.
