Do the LoCoMotion

Carolina Cups, a non-profit breast cancer charity, proudly welcomes you to the first annual LoCo Motion, a three-day walking and running event through the beautiful Lowcountry.

The 2011 inaugural event will be held September 30, October 1, and October 2. Participants will enjoy a different 10-mile course on each of the three days, having the option of running or walking 10 miles on each day, for a combined total of 30 miles through Hilton Head and Bluffton. While completing all three legs is not required, those that finish all 30 miles will be rewarded with a commemorative medal, the Triple Nipple.

This one-of-a-kind event has been carefully orchestrated to appeal to every fitness level and it is especially appealing to the large walking/running community that has grown tired of the ubiquitous 5ks and half marathons.
