RC and Moonpie Downhill Mile Race Information

<h4><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )">**CHECK IN IS AT 10:00 A.M. ON THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE PRESIDENT’S HOUSE</span></h4> <h4> </h4> <h4><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )">After a successful return last year, one of Clemson’s most legendary races is back once again. The RC &amp; MoonPie Presidential Downhill Mile returns as a fast, fun, and uniquely Southern tradition... a one mile downhill with a sweet (and slightly chaotic) twist.</span></h4> <h4><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )">Participants will gather on the sidewalk outside the President’s House, where they’ll be sent off by a very special guest. At the start line, runners will eat their first MoonPie before getting sent down Highway 93 by the iconic Death Valley Cannon. At the halfway mark near Sikes Hall, they’ll tackle another MoonPie and an ice-cold cola before making their final push to the finish line. The reward? One last cola and a celebration waiting at the Esso Club.</span></h4> <h4><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )">The race honors former Clemson President R.C. Edwards and his wife, Louise “MoonPie” Edwards. Their legacy lives on through one of Clemson’s most beloved and joyfully unconventional traditions.</span></h4> <h4><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )">After last year’s comeback, we’re doing it again - louder, faster, and even more fun. Join us as we continue the tradition, celebrate Clemson spirit, and honor the leaders who helped shape our university!</span></h4> <h3> </h3> <h4><a href="https://www.strava.com/routes/3314333923779598226" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )">RACE ROUTE</span></strong></a></h4>
