The Shrimp and Grits 5K  begins accross from 10 Storehouse Row on Noisett near McMillian. There are many Rail Road crossings. Please keep a keen watchful eye for these tracks. We continue across the Noisette Creek Bridge and turns right on 2nd Ave, then a left on Ave B, loops just before Virginia Ave back on Noisette.

As you head up Noisette Boulevard, a beautiful view of the eco-restored Noisette creek is visible on all sides. Previously cleared, filled and utilized as the Naval Golf Course, the creek is now home to native species and beautiful vistas. Then, a left turn off of Noisette onto Navy Way takes you into the beautiful former officer’s homes of Chicora Gardens and through Riverfront Park. Small roadways wind through what once was the center of a garden retreat for day-trippers who sought refuge from the bustle of ‘Charles Towne.’ As we travel through the park, we will be on grassy park surfaces that may be uneven. The view of the Cooper River and the Don Holt Bridge is well worth it! Riverfront Park is also the home of the National Sculpture Exhibition and Competition and the Naval Base Memorial.

Exiting Riverfront Park takes us to Hobson Ave where the half marathon goes left on Hobson and the 5k and 10k go rt on Hobson, then a quick left on Tuxton, and another left on Hobson for the finish.
