2026 SHAKE YOUR TRAIL FEATHERS EVENTS

Event Entrance: 1400 SC-41, Mount Pleasant, SC 29466

Lace up your trail shoes, spread your wings, and get ready to shake your trail feathers at Laurel Hill County Park! Runners will weave through wooded paths, glide along rolling dirt trails, and kick up some leaves. Shake Your Trail Feathers welcomes runners and walkers of all experience levels, from first-time participants to seasoned athletes.

Expect high spirits at the start line, colorful costumes on the course, and a finish-line celebration stacked with good vibes, music, and fall-themed treats. Whether you’re racing for time, running with friends, or simply earning your Thanksgiving feast early, this race promises a whole lot of fun in a beautiful, natural setting. Winners will take home the fixings for a Thanksgiving feast, and all finishers will receive a commemorative medal.

Before the race, we invite children of all ages and abilities to dash across the finish, too. Registration is available for a separate fee of $5 and includes a finisher medal. Registration is required. Parent or guardian must be present. This is an untimed event.
