We spent Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend at the Navy Yard at Noisette helping to sponsor the inaugural Riverfront Race Festival. The race benefits the Youth Endowment for the Arts (YEA), which helps keep music programs in Charleston County schools.

The rain held off until the bitter end and everyone had a great time! Volunteers, sponsors and runners alike kept warm with the help of bonfires (started by a fabulous volunteer!) and yummy shrimp and grits from Charleston Bay Gourmet. The festival consisted of the Hunley Hustle 5k, a 10k and a half-marathon, and boy did it start off with a bang!

How cute are the members of the North Charleston Dolphins Track Team?! They led the way in the Hunley Hustle 5k, and we loved watching them!

There were bands set up throughout the course to encourage the runners, while the amazing Sol Driven Train stayed behind to entertain the volunteers and finished runners. We’ve never seen someone pull off a track suit quite like the men of Sol Driven Train!

We had a great time at the Riverfront Race Festival, and we look forward to working with them again next year!
