Race Day Details

Friday, February 12, 2027 at Bridgeway Station, 1000 Via Corso Avenue, Simpsonville, SC 29681. Get directions.

Course or Race Highlight

The relay is the heart of this one. Each half of a pair runs the same two-mile route, which means the fast partner cannot carry the slow one and the slow one cannot hide — you are both accountable for the same ground. It has produced more good-natured arguments at the finish line than any other event we put on, and that is exactly what we were going for.

Afterward: romantic beats and slow jams on the Lovers Lane dance floor, swag-filled goodie bags with surprises from our local sponsors, prizes for the fastest couples and best-dressed duos, and complimentary photos to capture those post-race heart eyes. Every finisher receives a medal and a custom race bib with their name on it, and your entry supports local nonprofits through the Giving Series.

The Course

Flat and fast, out and back along Corso Drive and over the Lovers Lane Bridge, entirely within Bridgeway Station. Two miles with nothing technical about it — whatever you have in your legs on the day is what you will run.
