Last Chance 50K Trail Run

Welcome to the Last Chance Trail Race, an exhilarating event set against the stunning backdrop of the Swamp Fox Passage on the Palmetto Trail. Whether you’re just starting your trail running journey and are ready to tackle the 10k, an avid trail runner seeking a challenging 25k or a seasoned ultrarunner ready for a 50k adventure, this race offers an unforgettable experience for participants seeking one final challenge before the year concludes.

This section of the Swamp Fox Passage of the Palmetto Trail is stunning. The Palmetto Trail utilizes white blazes so in addition to our course markings be on the lookout for those. The passage traverses four distinct ecosystems through Francis Marion National Forest, including swamps made famous as hideouts of Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion.

Yes you’re on the East Coast so there are roots so be sure to do that awkward run where you look down but also up at the same time.

This is a flat course and makes for a great race to snag a shiny new PR before the year ends. The 10k has about 20 feet of elevation gain. The 25k has about 180 feet of elevation gain that probably occurs when you walk up some of the boardwalks and the 50k has about 360 feet of elevation gain.

The course is an out and back for each distance.
