Friday Fitness: Conquer the Hills

Hilton Head Island Bridge Run

Since 1992, the Hilton Head Bridge Run has hosted over 9,400 runners and walkers and has raised more than $ 30,000 for lowcountry charities. The tradition continues this weekend!

This Saturday will be the 19th Annual Hargray Hilton Head Island Bridge Run, and Hilton Health will be in attendance!
