Course Information:

This run/walk takes runners on a scenic course throughout Dargan's Pond and Clemson University's Research and Education Center. It is centered around one of the most beautiful but tucked away places in South Carolina. Trees covered in Spanish Moss, a breathtaking pond, and wildlife around every turn.
The race will be chip timed using the same sophisticated timing equipment that is used in the Boston marathon! There will also be pictures taken as runners cross the finish line! It is a trail race, but the trail is mostly packed, free of roots etc., and is also wide.
