MESSA’s 8K for H2O, Benefiting Charleston Waterkeeper

For the ninth consecutive year, the College of Charleston Masters of Environmental Studies Student Association (MESSA) will host the 8K for H20, an 8K run scheduled for February 19, 2011 at 9:00a.m, in front of the Folly Fishing Pier on Center Street. Working to raise awareness and funds to help improve the quality of our local waterways, more than 300 runners and walkers are expected to participate in this year’s race, whose course runs through the streets of Folly Beach. This year, local water-watchdog organization, Charleston Waterkeeper, will be the race beneficiary, further highlighting the importance of the public’s involvement in the fight to protect our waterways.  Registration and additional donations will be available online via Active.com or at the registration table the day of the race.  (Registration is $20 before 2/1 and $25 after 2/1…)
