Columbia, SC
Entry is $20 now and rises to $25 after Oct 6, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The mile race runs along Main Street on an evening start, beginning at an intersection downtown and finishing a block or so north. It is a short, straight shot, which means you are running hard from the beginning with no real opportunity to settle in. Open and elite runners go off together, so there is real competition around you regardless of where you line up.
