From the Organizer
The Hartness Half Marathon & 5K presented brings a cross-country style half marathon and 5K into Greenville, SC. Held on the Hartness Property just off Pelham Road near Interstate 85, these two great 9th year events give athletes the ability to race on pavement, trails, dirt roads, gravel roads and grass fields. Both the Half Marathon and 5K showcase the beautiful Hartness property that is currently being transformed from an industrial plot to a multi-use paradise, complete with living and recreational opportunities. To learn more about Hartness Living visit their web site HERE. While being run cross-country style, all surfaces will be well kept and this event is perfect for first-timers or Elite athletes alike.
“Hartness will embody the ideal hamlet ~ classic architecture, great urbanism, a pedestrian network that is celebrated over that of cars ~ inserted next to a mature nature preserve. This will form one of the next great neighborhoods in the South, providing a nurturing community for all who inhabit it.”... and we can't wait to race it!!!
The Hartness Half Marathon & 5K is partnered with Set Up Events to make sure your racing experience is first-class, and will benefit Make-A-Wish South Carolina.

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The half marathon is the distance where you find out what you're actually made of. Long enough to demand real preparation. Short enough that it doesn't consume your life to train for it. Most people who run their first half describe it as the race that changed their relationship with what they're capable of. Once you cross this finish line, the bar moves. That's not a warning — that's the point.
Race day energy varies by event size, but the finish line feeling is the same regardless. Big races keep the noise going the whole way. Smaller races give you stretches where it's just you and the miles — and that solitude becomes its own kind of fuel.
The half marathon rewards people who show up for the boring training miles.
How long to train: 10–14 weeks. If you're already running consistently, 10 weeks of structured buildup is enough. If you're building from a casual base, give yourself 14.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
