Clemson Triathlon

Issaqueena’s Last Ride is a challenging, mountain ride through the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and Foothills of South Carolina.

The 100 mile ride is highlighted by the climb to Wigington Overlook where it is rewarded with expansive views of Lake Jocassee and the surrounding Carolina Piedmont. The 30 mile and the Metric Century 62.1 mile rides stay in the flatter areas of Salem and Tamassee where the roads are gently rolling with no difficult climbs. All routes feature scenic rural roads with little traffic. This is a CHALLENGE. Please follow rules of the road.

Registration fee includes pre-ride coffee and baked goods, post-ride meal, cue sheets, SAG, and fully stocked rest stops. The event T-Shirt is guaranteed until March 31, 2026 11:00 a.m. registration date and time.

**CHECK IN IS AT 10:00 A.M. ON THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE PRESIDENT’S HOUSE

After a successful return last year, one of Clemson’s most legendary races is back once again. The RC & MoonPie Presidential Downhill Mile returns as a fast, fun, and uniquely Southern tradition... a one mile downhill with a sweet (and slightly chaotic) twist.

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.

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.

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!
