    Lace-up those sneakers and get ready for an unforgettable adventure at the Fall Red Horse Inn Run/Walk! This isn't just any old run—this is a journey full of surprises, with twists, turns, and a couple of cheeky hills that'll either keep you on your toes or give you a fun little tumble! We’re talking enchanting dirt trails, crunchy gravel, and plenty of well-placed markers to guide you through the fun. Spoiler alert: this course is no walk in the park!

    Forget about the stopwatch—this event is all about the joy of the journey, not how fast you can race through it. Whether you jog, walk, or prance your way through, the goal is to have a blast and make memories.

    And the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line! Celebrate your accomplishment with your choice of victory libations—a refreshing beer or a classy glass of wine (1 house wine or beer included with registration). Plus, because adventures are always better with friends, well-behaved pups on a leash are welcome to join in on the fun, making it a paw-some experience for all! Just remember, this shindig is strictly for the 21+ crowd.

    Mark Your Calendars!

    On-site check-in kicks off at 11:00 am at the Red Horse Inn, with the run starting at 12 pm sharp. Pop 45 Winstons Chase Ct, Landrum, SC 29356 into your GPS and get ready for an epic day out. We’ve got you covered with classy parking and bathrooms, so you can focus on having a blast.

    So, are you ready to run, laugh, and sip your way through the day? This event is all about the smiles per mile—not the time on the clock. We can’t wait to see you at the start line!
