Looks like another triathlon has been added to the local race calendar. The inaugural Folly Beach Challenge is set for Sunday, September 27. This is an off-road triathlon consisting of paddling, biking, and running. After a 3-mile paddle on the Folly River to Folly Beach County Park, participants will bike 8.5 miles (round-trip) on the sands of Folly. Then a 3 mile run, which I assume will be on the beach as well. Sounds like a bus will transport participants from the race site to the kayak launch site, but not sure about that.
There are solo and team options (3 person). Packet pick up will take place on September 26 from 10am-2pm and on race day from 6:30am to 7:30am at Folly Beach County Park. Online registration will end September 23. There will be no race day registration.
The race will be capped at 300 participants. T-shirts will be available to participants who have registered prior to September 12. If available, late registration will take place at packet pick-up on September 26 . The website doesn't mention if you can rent kayaks or not, but for more information, you can call 843-795-4FUN (4386).
