4 running, walking, and spartan events in Greer, South Carolina

The 2Slow4Boston Marathon was created with slow runners in mind and the thought that it might be fun to host an event that would be exclusive to them. This race is all about promoting the aspect of mental toughness that exists in our sport and celebrating the people who can persevere.

In this race the last participant is the winner! And we have allocated $20 of every registration to go towards award money for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place (the last 3 finishers) of the Marathon.

There now is a 2Slow4Boston Half-Marathon race. Although there won't be any prize money for the last participant, the last 3 participants of the will be acknowledge with a trophy and a gift-card.

The biggest perk of this race is that there is NO TIME LIMIT to complete either event.

Family package Special- $25 limited time March 1st-15th. To get there start by signing one person up, then add remaining people in your group and you will see a Drop down that has the family pricing. Can’t wait to see you there!
