The PNC Bank Charleston Half Marathon® is proud to continue its longstanding support of Engaging Creative Minds!

ECM is an Arts Integration educational nonprofit based in Charleston, South Carolina. ECM works with school districts, principals, teachers and the local workforce to identify specific knowledge and skill sets all students should master before graduating high school. ECM hires and trains local artists, STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) professionals and cultural organizations, called ECM Instructors, to work with grade level teams of teachers to support learning through the Arts.

We appreciate your efforts in leading by example when you race with us, demonstrating to the children in your life the importance of staying healthy not only on race day but all year round!

We hope to see both you and all the children join us at the 2025 PNC Bank Charleston Half Marathon, 5K, or Youth Marathon come January!
