The Palmetto Running Company's Daufuskie Island Marathon and Half is a running race on January 16, 2027 in Daufuskie Island, SC, with entry fees from $15 to $165.
From the Organizer
Just a 30-minute ferry ride off Hilton Head Island, SC lies Daufuskie Island. Haig Point, a private residential community on Daufuskie, hosts this ultimate event consisting of a half marathon or full marathon. This event is produced and owned by Run 4 a Reason LLC/ Rough Runners R4R INC.
Runners will experience the all-inclusive running event, as soon as they step onto the island. The runners will be greeted with a morning cup of coffee, cinnamon rolls, and hyped entertainment to get you ready to run. Race through Haig Point, to Freeport, onto Church Rd, and then back into Haig Point along the beach. After your race, a catered picnic lunch and an assortment of beverages await you…including a cool beer provided you’re of legal drinking age. Additionally, each runner will receive high end swag and a finishing medal to commemorate your accomplishment. Take your medal to Jacy, a local artist, and she will engrave your finishing time while enjoying the after party. Chow down and listen to live entertainment with family and friends while you recover and enjoy your accomplishment.
