From Fripp, we’ll be able to walk to our other island courses: we’ll do a day on Hunting/Little Hunting, a day on Fripp, and a day on a soon-to-be-announced island!

And instead of going our separate ways at the finish lines, we’ll have all sorts of shenanigans and activities to enjoy with our new besties. Or you can kick back at your rental house and just soak up the beauty.

Anyone that thinks cancer sucks.
We seem to appeal to folks who celebrate life, savor sweet victories, embrace flamingos, and enjoy a mean game of giant Jenga.

Bring your besties, bring your kids, bring your mom, husband, neighbors, boss, barista, your middle-aged single brother-in-law… (please bring him)!

All ages and fitness levels are welcome, supported, and encouraged, here. We don’t care if you run, walk, crawl, push a stroller, or piggy back across the finish line.

We just want you to revel in that sense of accomplishment and inspire everyone around you.

And having fun doing it.

We love men! Please bring your husbands, brothers, sons, and all the single fellas you know!
Seriously, the guys always have a blast and they typically have the best costumes. If your boys would rather golf, tennis, fish, kayak, jetski, play poker, or chill on a hammock while you’re kicking cancer’s butt, then they will love Fripp!

A lot of groups will rent a “boy’s house” and a “girl’s house” next to each other. Those are typically the houses with the lights still on and the laughter still hollering at 3am. So much fun!

We plan our courses with tides and traffic in mind so our start times vary between 7-9am.
Most people finish our 10 mile courses in 3ish hours but you’ve got ​4.5 hours​ to complete it, so enjoy!

And yes, we do offer ​short-cuts​ for those of you that want an abbreviated version of the fun. The after-parties usually crank up about two hours after the START and go for a good four hours, depending on what other activities are planned.

Immediately. It’s beautiful here! But in case that doesn’t work for you: you’ll want to be in town at least Thursday through Sunday of race weekend (Oct 24-27).

And you’ll probably want to stick around to enjoy Sunday Funday, Fripp style! So yeah, try to stay until Monday if you can.

If you want to come for a week or more, you’ll be in good company. Tons of our come early and stay late, making Pledge the Pink an annual vacation with friends and family!

About 75% of our registrants come from out of town (49 states and 17 countries in 2018) and they tell us that $300-$500 pretty much sums up your weekend expenses, especially if you buddy up on accommodations.

Share a house or condo and save even more money– splitting up a bigger place that sleeps several people is much cheaper AND you can have breakfast and dinner at home vs going out to eat.

There are also 100 RV and camp sites on adjacent ​Hunting Island State Park​ that are extremely affordable. Ranger Weatherford and the South Carolina Parks, Recreation & Tourism Department are excited to Pledge the Pink with us!

Use our Facebook group to meet your new besties and save money by carpooling down here with folks in your area.
