South Carolina’s Running Festival kicks off with our Expo on Friday at 11:00 am. The excitement moves on to the Main Street Mile and Kid’s Mile (Fun Run) on Friday evening. Runners of all abilities to include elite athletes will be running a mile on Main Street.
On Saturday, the Half Marathon takes off at 7:00 am, and the 5k Run/Walk takes off at 7:30 am. Both races will experience a great course that includes historic areas and will encounter entertainment from 25-30 Spirit Corps locations on the course. Participants will finish near the intersection of Park and Senate Streets and will be arriving starting at 7:45 am and continuing through 10:00 am. Our finish area will include music, food, vendors, and activities leading up to our awards ceremonies and a post-race celebration at Tin Roof.
