Join us on July 4th for a fun and run as we celebrate our Upstate Running Club members, running family, and the kind of summer night that feels best with trail dust on your shoes and fireworks in the sky.
After the run, stick around for a post-run social, potluck dinner, food, drinks, and whatever zippity-do-dah energy the night decides to bring. This is not a fancy banquet. This is a backyard-style, running-family friendza where everyone, shares a few laughs, and helps turn Lakewood Nature Preserve into the most patriotic aid station in Greenville.
Camping is available for $25 per participant for anyone who wants to keep the freedom festivities rolling under the moon and stars.
Please note that there is no water or power on site, but we do have plenty of open parking, beautiful nature trails, wildlife, wide-open sky, and just enough controlled chaos to make this a Fourth of July night worth remembering.
Come run, walk, eat, laugh, camp, contribute, and celebrate with the URC community.
Freedom. Friendship. Free miles.
That’s the Spark the FREEdom way. 🇺🇸✨
