Charleston · Sports & events

Single-A baseball April to September beside the Ashley River, tickets a few dollars, promotions relentless, and one famous part-owner who occasionally coaches first base.

Second-tier professional soccer from March to October at the ground beside Patriots Point, across the Cooper River in Mount Pleasant.

A large keelboat regatta run out of the harbour each April, several hundred boats, and free to watch from the Battery if the wind is onshore.

A 10K across the Ravenel Bridge each April with tens of thousands of entrants, walkers included. Kayak hire on Shem Creek runs all year.
