Sundown Trail Races consist of a SIX-race series on the trails at ASC Greenway in Fort Mill, SC hosted by the Rock Hill Striders. The Southern summers are long and hot and we all welcome when the sun hits the horizon for a break in the heat. Chase the sun towards the horizon in one or all of these races.
Races will be held on Wednesdays in May, June, July, and August, at 6:30 pm near the Canteen at ASC Greenway (Lake Haigler Entrance).
Register for all SIX races and receive some awesome swag to commemorate the series. This will be a low-capacity event so register early.
With the addition of two events, we are adding to the prizes that will be awarded. Half of the events will have a raffle, where all participants are entered to win. The other half will have awards for finishing in certain places. For the series champions, a points system will be used with awards going to the top male, female, and overall champion at the end of the series. Your FOUR best finishes will be used for scoring. That's right, no more penalties if you have a conflict with a race (or 2)!
The courses will be between three and five miles with combination of single track and gravel road.
All ages and paces are welcome, come run or hike each race and bring the whole family!
After racing, stop by the Gateway Canteen for an ice-cold beverage and something to eat. Food and beverage specials will be available with the Gateway Canteen open until 9:00 pm.
These events will be run rain or shine but in the event of severe weather (lighting, hail, etc.) the start time may be adjusted. In the event of cancellation of a race due to severe weather, the make-up will be the 1st Wednesday of September.
