Event Details
Join us at Cypress Gardens for the sixth annual Bright Ideas 5K! You'll enjoy a challenging certified course of varied terrain in one of the prettiest locations in the Lowcountry. Packet pickup will be 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday, April 23, 2027 at Fleet Feet's Carnes Crossroads location. Race day packet pickup is also available until 7:45 a.m. at Cypress Gardens. Parking is limited at Cypress Gardens, so please carpool or arrive early. A shuttle to a remote lot at Celanese (formerly DuPont) will be provided.
For the safety of our athletes, the road will close at 7:45 a.m. and will reopen after the last athlete has cleared the road. All proceeds from this run/walk benefit Berkeley Electric Cooperative's Bright Ideas Education Grant Program, which supports innovative and effective projects that are not covered by traditional school funding. Public and private K-12 teachers in BEC's service territory can apply for grants up to $1,500 each year.
