“Harris Teeter has served the Charleston community for nearly half a century,” said Danna Robinson, director of corporate affairs for Harris Teeter. “We’re thrilled to return to the Cooper River Bridge Run as the sole presenting sponsor and are eager to celebrate another great race week.”

As the third largest 10K in the U.S., the Cooper River Bridge Run will welcome thousands of runners on April 5, 2025, to make the trek from Mount Pleasant into Charleston. A celebration of wellness and community, Harris Teeter mirrors this effort through its commitment to high-quality, fresh ingredients, and to giving back to the communities it operates in.

Race participants are encouraged to visit the Health & Wellness Expo (Opens in a new tab or window) Thursday, April 3 and Friday, April 4 to receive race packets and to visit the hundreds of vendor booths for free samples and giveaways – including booths from Harris Teeter vendor partners and the Harris Teeter photo booth at the Charleston Area Convention Center.

On race day, among the 30,000+ racegoers, look for “Team Teeter”, the hundreds of Harris Teeter’s valued associates and running partners as they “Get Over It” and encourage others to embrace a healthy lifestyle and prioritize community involvement. Hundreds of additional Harris Teeter associates will dedicate more than 600 total volunteer hours to make this race a success.

“The Cooper River Bridge Run team looks forward to our partnership with Harris Teeter every year,” said Cooper River Bridge Run deputy director, Mark Cellars. “The Harris Teeter "volunTeeters” who work alongside us, bring an enthusiasm and pride for the event that makes every race more fun and impactful than the last.”
