    Watch for Strollers and Pets

    Strollers and pets are welcome, and music is allowed. Be aware of your surroundings at the start, especially if you're aiming for a fast time.

    From the description

In Florence

  • Getting to the Race

    Florence is car-dependent, so plan to drive or use ride-sharing. Downtown parking fills up early on race day, so arrive with time to spare.

  • Where to Watch

    Spectators can line the streets of downtown Florence, especially near the festival grounds. The compact layout means you can see runners multiple times without moving far.

  • After the Finish

    Recover with a stroll in Timrod Park, a leafy spot in the city. Then head to the SC Pecan Festival for food and music, a Florence tradition.
