About the 3 Bridges 5K & 10K
The course follows a paved out-and-back path along the river levee, crossing several bridges over the Savannah River and the canal that runs beside it. Parts of the trail are dirt, so expect a mixed surface underfoot. The surroundings are open and waterside for most of the route, and both distance options start and finish at Lake Olmstead Trailhead.
Packet pickup happens the evening before at a local running store, with race-morning pickup available at the start. Parking is in the lot beside the start line, with overflow on a grass lot across the street. Signs guide you in, but avoid the Humane Society lot next door.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The 3 Bridges 5K & 10K has been held every year since at least 2015. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
