Edisto Triathlon and 12th Annual Edisto Beach Road Race

posted 11/9/2023 The Edisto Triathlon will  be held this Saturday, 11/11/23, and the run will again go through part of Ocean Ridge.  The runners will enter through the Jenkins pedestrian/bike path and proceed to and turn atain onto Gun Bluff and exit Ocean Ridge through the same Jenkins pedestrian/bike path.  The gates will not need to be opened for the run.  Although they will have around 150 participants, there should not be any large group of runners at any one time as they are competing against the clock.

 

The 12th Annual Edisto Beach Road Race will be held the following Saturday, 11/18/23, and will follow the regular route: beginning at the Water’s Edge Cafe, exiting the Jenkins gate, reentering the Summerwind gate and finishing at the Cafe.  A Chamber representative will open the gates as needed for exit and reentry.

From Edisto Beach Police Chief Daniel Seyle:

Posted 4/14/23  As most of you know, there was a shooting last weekend on the Isle of Palms.  Today the police were monitoring Folly Beach due to social media rumors of a possible large gathering of teenagers there.  I have not heard of any problems at Folly so far.  Please be aware of your surroundings and call 911 if you have something to report.  Do NOT call Town Hall or the Police Department.  911 can get the officers on duty where they need to be the quickest.  I am in contact with the Colleton County Sheriff’s Office, the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office, SLED and DNR and there is a significant police presence on the beach this week.  Thank you.
