Midwinter in the Lowcountry is highlighted by both a busy schedule for both road races and oyster roasts. This year, the month will conclude with a “race & roast” (to benefit Mount Pleasant Land Conservancy) on the gorgeous trails of Oakland Plantation. So you may want to pencil this into your running schedule.
