Stations & transport near the venue

Getting to the start

No public transit confirmed at Summerville start

Point-to-point relay (~68 miles), first wave departs Summerville, SC at 5:00am.

Summerville is served by TriCounty Link (rural Dorchester/Berkeley county transit), not CARTA;

no route confirmed at the specific start venue.

Relay requires each team to have its own support vehicle to shuttle runners between the 12 transition points along the course —

public transit is not practical for this event format.

No date conflict — Sat Oct 17, 2026 confirmed matching source date.

This is a point-to-point relay run with team vehicles, so public transit is not the relevant access mode for participants.

Getting to the finish

CARTA Route 40 (Mt. Pleasant Downtown) serves the general Mount Pleasant area

Finish: The Lawn at Ferry Wharf, Mount Pleasant, SC (Cooper River waterfront).

More details

Each relay team provides its own support/shuttle vehicle to move runners between the 12 legs —

this is the de facto 'shuttle' system for the event, not organizer-provided public transit.

Stations & transport near the venue

Summerville, SC is a small Charleston-area town with no dedicated transit card system;

this relay covers rural coastal roads best reached by car.

Ride-share (Uber/Lyft) operates in the wider Charleston metro but coverage thins out toward the coast.

Cash or card works for any parking or toll fees along the route.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

October averages 20°C.

In Somerville at this time of year, mornings and afternoons can feel very different.

It is cool at start line, but the latter section is fully exposed to the sun, so a hat can make all the difference over the final 5 km.

The venue is in an area without public transportation.

Plan on traveling by car or rental car.

Registration is handled through the RunSignup platform.

Ultras are decided by fueling and foot care, not speed.

Break in your shoes and socks well before race day, and if there is a night section, bring spare batteries for your headlamp.

The 05:00 start is early.

Working backward from waking up, breakfast, and travel, staying near start line the night before is more convenient.

Registration closes on 2026-07-31.
