There are plenty of reasons to feel good about participating in this annual 10K and 5k run and walk - proceeds benefit local child services and programs - but one of the immediate feel good responses comes from the amazing view of the marshes and creeks from the Isle of Palms Connector, which crosses the Intracoastal Waterway as it spans the distance between Isle of Palms and Mt. Pleasant. A fun fitness challenge!
