Where The Wild Things Run

Embrace the call of the Lowcountry wilderness for a family-friendly adventure at the scenic Where the Wild Things 5K Run/Walk on March 7, 2026. This unique event invites runners, joggers, and walkers of all ages and abilities to explore the natural, unimproved trails of the Caw Caw Interpretive Center, a serene escape just outside Charleston. The morning begins with the new Wild Kids Dash, a fun, untimed sprint where every young participant earns a finisher medal, followed by the main 5K loop course through lush landscapes and along scenic waterways. An inclusive atmosphere prevails, with accessible facilities and a welcoming spirit for beginners, making it the perfect gateway to trail running.

After crossing the finish line, participants gather for a celebratory award ceremony complete with refreshments, fostering a strong sense of community among nature enthusiasts. The event thoughtfully balances a love for the outdoors with organized support, including on-site packet pickup and a well-placed water station along the route. More than just a timed race, it's an opportunity to disconnect and reconnect, immersing yourself in the tranquil beauty of South Carolina's coastal ecology. Lace up your shoes for a morning where every step is a celebration of wild spaces and shared exploration.
