Our community lost a legend and a truly bright light this past Sunday.

For over 25 years, race founder Paul King was a fixture at the end of each Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series race. Perched on his stool, he would speak from the heart about the sport he loved, the incredible family of athletes that had grown over the years, and whatever else was on his mind. Paul had countless friends, supporters, and admirers.

In 2014, Paul entrusted his beloved race series to Charleston County Parks. Each summer, he and Kathleen returned for the championship race to present the awards to the top male and female triathletes—awards that were fittingly named in their honor. As our Assistant Director of Recreation, John Massey, shared, "We've done our best to live up to his standards, and we will dearly miss him."

To Kathleen, Amelia, Skylar, and your entire family: Thank you for sharing Paul with us for so many years. You are all in our thoughts.💙
