The King’s Highway Trail Race is held on a combination of horse trail and dirt road. You will run on a large section of the King’s Highway that has gone virtually untouched. You will run on a looped course no shorter than 11 miles. Aid stations will be made available on course as well as at the Start/Finish Line.
Packet Pickup will be held before the event between the hours of 7:00-7:30AM at the Start/Finish line.
There is no camping available on site for this event. This course is held on private land and no access will be granted to run the course prior to the event.
The Year was 1660… shortly after being crowned King, King Charles II asks the governors of his colonies to establish a line of communication between the colonies. The entire length of The King’s Highway did not become a continuous wagon road until about 1735. Incorporating the Boston Post Road (opened in 1673), the route traveled over 1,300 miles, from Boston, Massachusetts to Charles Town, South Carolina. Along the route, there are numerous communities today with a King Street, King’s Road, or King Avenue, all remaining from the days when it was called the King’s Highway. The longest remaining stretch of the original King’s Highway can be found at Hobcaw Barony. You will run on this dirt road.
