Join The Lean Team to walk across our bridge. We gather at 9 am, Saturday mornings, at the gravel parking lot just past the Cigar Factory on East Bay in Charleston to walk across our bridge. Join the fun and help our collective miles reach a 1000 or much more! We are accumulating collective miles to walk across America. Experience health one step at a time.
You will get a personal Lean Team name tag where we will keep track of your distance. Students who walk may redeem the miles for free registration for the Bridge Run on April 5th. The Bridge Run has a history of 30 years with over 38,000 participants just last year. Everyone is welcome!

The Ravenel Bridge, a 2.5 mile span, connects Charleston to Mount Pleasant over the Cooper River. If you have lived in Charleston during the past 5 years, you will recall the excitement of watching the bridge under construction and the coming down of the old Grace Bridge. The bridge has become a symbol of our whole community. Looking out into the harbor gives you a new perspective on where you live. As you walk with The Lean Team you encourage and are encouraged as you build relationships. It is a powerful and unique experience.
