The Georgetown Bridge2Bridge Run is one of the first spring runs, and involves the 5K, the 12K, and the half marathon. The run benefits Friendship Place, a nonprofit which works to provide its neighbors in poverty the opportunity to move from crisis to self-sufficiency. Friendship Place has served thousands of Georgetown residents in need through its programs, and through three core programs: Georgetown Learns, Georgetown Eats, and Georgetown Prays. All the runners will start at the Rice Museum Clock Tower on Front Street and navigate past historic landmarks (the Winyah Indigo Society Hall, Georgetown County Museum, the Kaminiski House, the old Georgetown County Court House and several historic homes) and through scenic areas of Georgetown. The 12K and half marathon participants will leave the City of Georgetown and run over the Waccamaw, Pee Dee, and Black rivers. The 12K and Half Marathon turns around shortly after crossing the rivers, heading back over the bridges. The Half Marathon participants continue over the Sampit River bridge into Cravens Grant and back over the Sampit River bridge. Both courses return the runners to the Historic District of Georgetown and will finish in front of the Maritime Museum. There will be live music and a beer garden at the finish line for everyone, race participants and spectators! All participants receive a T-Shirt and medal. Special medals will be awarded to those that place in their age group. Rice Museum Clock Tower, 633 Front Street. Saturday, 7 a.m. $40 +. Kids 1-miler, free. www.runsignup.com
