About the Bluffton Oyster Run 5K
The course winds through the old streets of Bluffton's historic district, hugging a river for much of the route. The race is part of a larger arts and seafood festival happening in town that same day, which means the finish area has real energy behind it, not just a timing clock and a folding table.
Packet pickup runs the evenings before the race at a local park and at a running store in town, with a short race-morning window at the start area near Oyster Factory Park. Parking is on site there. No same-day registration, so sort out your bib beforehand. After the race, an after-party and awards presentation happen right at the finish.
