**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!

The Cupid Shuffle 5k Run/Walk on Saturday, February 13, 2027 is a great way to start your Valentines Day weekend. To keep registration prices low and maximize the philanthropic impact, we have decided to return to the beanie give-away this year, which will not be included in our very low-price the 14-under registration. There will, of course, be chocolate at the finish. Awards will be overall male and female as well as three deep in each age category. Race starts and finishes at Clemson Presbyterian Church and Gateway Park. Registrations received after January 15, 2027 will not be guaranteed swag.
