About the Kiawah Island Half Marathon
The half shares Kiawah Island Resort's long-running marathon weekend while retaining its own certified 13.1-mile course and awards. Resort access, parking, and lodging take more planning than a downtown race, but the quiet island roads create a distinctive experience.
Kiawah Island Half Marathon course description
Starting and finishing in West Beach Village, the route threads through the island community past maritime forest, marshland, and residential scenery. The low-country road profile favors rhythm, while repeated bends and coastal exposure can keep it from feeling perfectly effortless.
