Course or Race Highlight

Lakewood Nature Preserve is grassy trails and rolling hills just outside Greenville, with plenty of shade and the occasional deer or fox along the way. It is an easy, welcoming place to bring the whole family for a first race. The 10:00 AM start is deliberate — late enough to get everyone fed, dressed, and out the door without a fight.

There is no time limit on this one. Walk it, jog it, stop to look at the water, let the kids run ahead and then catch them. Every finisher receives a medal, and your entry supports local nonprofits through the Giving Series.
