Gantt周辺のHalf Marathonレース

The Hartness Half Marathon & 5K takes place on the Hartness property in Greenville, South Carolina, situated near Pelham Road and Interstate 85. Participants can choose between a half marathon or a 5K. The course incorporates varied terrain beyond typical road miles, including pavement, trails, dirt roads, gravel roads, and grass fields. The route crosses the Hartness property and extends into its nature preserve, offering a mixed-surface run distinct from conventional city road races. The surfaces are maintained well, making the event accessible for beginners yet providing sufficient variety for competitive runners. The event has partnered with Set Up Events and has contributed to local causes such as Make-A-Wish South Carolina and A Child's Haven.

The Longest Night is an overnight trail and ultra race held at the 120-acre Preserve at Lakewood in Greenville, South Carolina, just before the winter solstice. All participants run on the same 1.5-mile grass loop, featuring wide paths and rolling hills. The distance completed depends on the number of laps a runner finishes: 34 laps for the 50-mile race, 21 for the 50K, 18 for the marathon, 9 for the half marathon, and 4 for the 10K. Each loop must be completed in under 25 minutes, making the race a test of endurance and pace management. The longer races commence around sunset and proceed through the night. The marathon, half marathon, and 10K start before dawn. The course loops back to a barn serving as the start/finish line, aid station, and personal staging area, providing runners a consistent base between laps. This is a lap-by-lap elimination format; failing to meet the pace cutoff results in disqualification. It is also a cup-less event, requiring runners to provide their own cup.

The Snowbird Challenge takes place at Riverwest Preserve, offering four race distances: 50k, half marathon, 5.2 miles, or the Reindeer Relay. Each option utilizes the same 2.62-mile loop, structuring the day around repeated circuits rather than a linear course. 50k participants continue laps until the ultra distance is met, while those in shorter races and relay teams experience the winter course in reduced segments. Upstate Race Series presents this event with a lighthearted approach to cold-weather running. The event description refers to it as a run for "true winter wanderers" and a "frosty little proving ground," acknowledging runners who might prefer warmer conditions. Registration includes park entry, and finishers are awarded medals and custom bibs. The first 100 entrants will receive custom race socks, and the series also directs donations to local non-profits.

The Greenville Half Marathon & 5K is a net-downhill race in the Greenville, South Carolina area. The half marathon begins at Gateway Park in Travelers Rest at 7:30 AM and concludes on the TD Stage at the Peace Center in downtown Greenville. The 5K starts at Swamp Rabbit Cafe, then follows the Swamp Rabbit Trail to the same downtown finish. The event is scheduled for its 15th running, showing its established local history. The half marathon is point-to-point, requiring runners to arrange transportation and parking. Pre-race bus tickets are limited and purchased during registration. Return buses operate from the finish area back toward the start every 30 minutes from 9 AM to noon. The course includes six aid stations, each supplied with water, Gu, and Wildly Charged electrolyte drink, and portable toilets are available at each station. Pace groups from Without Limits Greenville cater to finish times from 1:30 to 2:45. Awards are presented to overall, masters, grand masters, and age-group runners.

The Knock On Wood Trail Run/Hike is a trail race held at Camp Spearhead within Pleasant Ridge County Park in Marietta, South Carolina. Both half marathon and 10K distances are offered, with races commencing at 8:00 AM. This event is included in the Upstate Race Series and is also playfully known as Knock on Woodstock. Packet pickup begins at 7:00 AM near the main shelter. The half marathon has a 4-hour time limit. The 10K follows a loop course within the park. Half marathon participants will run the same trail-focused course for a longer distance. The race benefits Camp Spearhead, a camp serving children and adults with disabilities. Participants include those running or hiking to support the camp's mission. Awards are presented to the top three overall finishers and age group winners. The first 100 entrants will receive custom race socks.
