Bright Ideas 5K, Moncks Corner SC
The Bright Ideas 5K takes place at Cypress Gardens in Moncks Corner on April 24, 2027. The event is the sixth annual edition and uses a certified course with varied terrain that includes a public road into Cypress Gardens as part of the route.
The distance for the main event is 3.1 Miles. Packet pickup is available the day before at Fleet Feet Carnes Crossroads and on race day at Cypress Gardens. Parking at Cypress Gardens is limited; a shuttle to a remote lot at Celanese, formerly DuPont, will be provided. For safety the road into Cypress Gardens will close at 7:45 a.m. and will reopen after the last athlete has cleared the road.
All proceeds benefit Berkeley Electric Cooperative's Bright Ideas Education Grant Program. The program funds innovative classroom projects that are not covered by traditional school budgets, offers grants up to $1,500 to public and private K-12 teachers within BEC's service territory, and will recognize grant winners at the 5K awards ceremony. Registration opened April 26, 2026, closes February 28, 2027, and the registration fee is $35. Berkeley Electric Cooperative is a not for profit electric provider serving portions of Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties.
