Charlie Post Classic 15K Run, 5K Run and 5K Walk

How We Got Started

The race started out as the Family Practice Physicians Fitness Run by Charlie Post in 1980. The event was changed to the Charlie Post Classic in 1983 to honor Dr. Charlie Post after his accident.

 

The Founder

He was a very active member of the Charleston Running Club, served as the head of the College of Charleston’s student health services, and was the school’s team physician for varsity sports.
