Charleston Itty Bitty 50 : December 20, 2026
The Charleston Itty Bitty 50 is a point-to-point 50-mile running event in the Charleston, South Carolina area. The course uses open public roads and is unmarked; there are no scheduled aid stations or closed roads. Runners are expected to be self supported and to use available businesses and community resources along the route.
Registration opens February 14, 2026 and is limited to 75 entrants. A waitlist will open after those spots fill. Registration closes December 11, 2026. The only entry fee is a required $30 donation that covers the cost of a GPS tracker rental; any remaining funds or dropped-entry amounts will be directed to a memorial fund. There are no refunds or bib transfers.
The route begins at the end of the West Ashley Greenway and continues through central Charleston, crossing key bridges and passing parks, the Charleston peninsula, Mount Pleasant, Sullivan’s Island and the Isle of Palms, finishing at the track and field facility at Park West in Mount Pleasant. Finishers complete a final 400-meter lap on the track; that final lap is timed separately. Organizers will monitor finisher times through race day.
This edition is the fifth running of the Itty Bitty 50. The event is organized as an alternative distance to the previously offered 100-mile race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
