 Sanford, Son Will Run in Cooper River Bridge Run
(Columbia-AP) -- Governor Mark Sanford will run with his 10-year-old son in the 27th Annual Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston Saturday.

Sanford and his son, Landon, will join the nearly 18-thousand runners in the ten kilometer race from Mount Pleasant to downtown Charleston.

Spokesman Will Folks says the governor's in tremendous shape and his son is pretty fast too.

Sanford has made physical fitness a part of his platform.

In his State of the State address in January, Sanford challenged South Carolinians to get into better shape to help lower health care costs.

In May, the governor's wife and sons will join him for a bike ride across the state.
