CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Seventy-five College of Charleston students participating in the Bridge Run Training Program will race alongside 35,000 others in the upcoming run. The program is led by the College’s Campus Recreation Services and aims to support runners by educating students on pro per training, racing nutrition, and running tips to avoid injuries. “It has been an incredible opportunity to support the College of Charleston community in reaching their goals through the Bridge Run Training Program,” says Jessica Dettwiller, CRS’s assistant director of fitness. “In collaboration with our exercise science student intern each week, we have provided participants with various resources. I am excited to watch this program continue to grow and evolve in the future.” School officials said the students' training began in January. Although participating in Bridge Run is not a requirement, most do. “The program does a great job of appealing to the different levels of runners,” says Sean Hamby, a junior exercise science major who also serves as an intern with the program. “It really allows for the participants to tailor the training to their needs and schedules.” ...read more read less
