<h5><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><strong>SOUTH CAROLINA TRAIL RUNNERS</strong></span></h5> <h5><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )">Runners and families are invited to enjoy the great outdoors on the doorstep of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northwest South Carolina. The scenic 5k course is a great for novice trail runners and experienced racers alike. The single track trails meander along and across scenic Carrick Creek from the nature center as you</span><br /><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )">climb toward Pinnacle Mountain. After a short climb, the 5k runners will race downhill, looping back toward the start finish line.</span></h5> <h5><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )">Up for more of a challenge? The 15k race course, which is currently closer to a17K,  will test the most seasoned trail runners. It follows the same route as the 5k for the first two miles. However, the 15k course climbs nearly 2000 feet over the first 5 miles. You will struggle to make it over several gaps and reach the race’s high point of Pinnacle Mountain. As you descend you will be rewarded with spectacular views from Bald Rock and other overlooks. More stream crossings, gnarly roots and jagged rocks will keep you on your toes as you wind your way back down the valley toward the finish. All racers will welcome the sight of the finish line where there will be plenty of food and ice cold drinks to replenish your body after a tough run. And, receive our super soft shirts and finishers awards will be provided to all runners.</span></h5> <h5><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><strong>Event details and schedule</strong></span></h5> <h5><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><strong>Saturday, August 9th</strong></span></h5> <p><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><em>Don&#39;t forget your $6.00 entry fee into the park at the front gate.
