☀️ HELLO, MORTALS! IT’S ME… THE SUN.
And I’m callin’ you out to dance in my glow at the Longest Day—a race from sunrise to sunset on the trails of The Preserve at Lakewood. 🌅🏃♂️🌄 I’ll rise above the horizon at 6:30AM sharp, and from then until I take my fiery bow around 10PM, you’ll be racing against me… and against time. ⏳🔥
Every 2-mile lap is your chance to shine. But beware—each lap gets one minute SHORTER to complete. My light fades, the clock ticks, and your legs better keep moving! Only the strongest will last 'til twilight… maybe one winner… or none at all. 😈🌞
🏞️ Welcome to My Playground:
The trails of The Preserve at Lakewood—120 acres of forest, rolling grass paths, and wildlife galore. While you're out chasing glory, don’t be surprised if a white-tailed deer or curious box turtle cheers you on. 🦌🐢🌳
You’ll loop past red cedars and maple trees, glide by singing mockingbirds and blue jays, and maybe catch a glimpse of a fox sneaking off to find shade. This is nature’s race course, and I light every inch of it.
🎯 Here’s the Deal:
🕕 Start: 6:30AM sharp—don’t be late, I wait for no one.
🔁 Format: 2-mile loop. First lap = 45 minutes to finish. Each lap after = 1 minute less to complete.
💀 Fall behind? Ring the cowbell of defeat and surrender your bib.
🏆 Lap 31: If you make it this far, first across the line wins the whole solar shebang.
🌟 Event Details:
📍 Where: 220 Lakewood Drive, Greenville, SC 29607
🎽 Packet Pickup: 1 hour before race start
🔥 Course: Grass trail with rolling hills, partial shade (you’re welcome), and big blue skies above

Just the raw Earth beneath your feet and some race-day snacks like:
🥒 Pickles | 🍪 Cookies | 🍬 Candy | 🥤 Water, Coke, & Ginger Ale
Cup-less, folks! Bring your own bottle or cup to sip from my table of sunshine. 🌞🥤
Wanna donate food? Bring your faves—I love a generous soul. 💛
🏕️ Make It a Party:
Bring your 10x10 tent, camp chair, and crew. Set up your home base beside the start/finish line and cheer on your fellow sun chasers! Just be kind—leave no trace and keep the energy high. 🎪🪑🎉We also offer Friday evening tent setup at 4pm along with overnight camping options you can reserve during registration.
So… are you bold enough to race from my rise to my fall?
Can you endure my longest day and stand tall in the golden hour?
Then I’ll see you at dawn, little firewalkers.
Bring your grit, your grit, and your sunscreen. 😎☀️🔥

🎄✨ HO HO HO and Welcome to the TACKIEST 5K of the Year! ✨🎄
Straight from the North Pole (okay, maybe more like South Carolina), it’s your jolly friend Christmas here, and I’m inviting YOU to jingle all the way through the woods at the Tacky Sweater 5K! 🎅🧣🎽 This isn’t just any run—it’s a full-blown festive fashion disaster parade on the move! Whether the forecast calls for snowflakes ❄️ or sweat beads 💦, nothing stops a South Carolina runner in a sweater covered in tinsel, blinking lights, and pure holiday joy! 🌟
🦌 Tacky Day Details:
🎄 WHEN: Race kicks off at 10:00am sharp (don’t be late—Santa's watching!)
🎁 WHERE: Lakewood Nature Preserve – 220 Lakewood Dr., Greenville, SC
🎁 PACKET PICKUP: Begins one hour before the run (plenty of time to fluff your sweater pom-poms!)
Get ready for 2 festive loops (1.5 miles each) through the wild & whimsical woods of Lakewood! The trails are wide, grassy, and sprinkled with just enough hills to jingle your bells 🎶. Keep your eyes peeled for curious critters who might just mistake your outfit for a holiday decoration gone rogue! 🐿️🦃🦌
