Unique among bridge runs, the races take place on the 7,780-foot Sidney Lanier Bridge and the Half Marathon extends through Historic Brunswick. At its center, the bridge measures 480 feet high above the Brunswick River, the tallest span in the state.

The Bridge Run also includes a fun walk after the race is over, followed by a family-friendly festival featuring community vendors, food and drink, entertainment and children's activities. Proceeds benefit the Health System’s cancer care and cardiac programs.
