GUNTIME vs. CHIPTIME 🏁⏱️ — know the difference before race day!

Your timing chip is already attached to your bib, so all you have to do is show up, cross that start line and GO. 🙌

Quick reminder: Gun Time determines our overall winners, while Chip Time is used for Masters + Age Group results.

Save this one for race morning 👆
Can’t wait to see you Saturday! 💚🩷

Big love for some BIG support. 💙🌴

Today we’re giving a huge THANK YOU to our incredible $5,000+ sponsors who help make the IOP Connector Run & Walk for the Child presented by Isle of Palms Vacation Rentals by Exclusive Properties possible.

This race is about so much more than crossing a finish line. Every sponsorship dollar raised goes directly to local organizations working to prevent child abuse and help children and families heal right here in the Lowcountry. Last year, together, we gave back a record-breaking $200,000 — and we’re running toward that goal again in 2026.

We couldn’t do it without businesses, organizations and community partners who believe in the cause. Thank you for running with us, giving with us and showing up for the kids. ❤️
