💸 Want 25% OFF Your Registration?

Join our Participant Volunteer Program!

If you’re running the race and can bring a volunteer to cover a 3-hour shift, you’ll receive 25% OFF your registration.

Got a bored friend? A supportive family member? That one crew member who just stands around holding your snacks? Send them our way. We’ll gladly put them to work on the farm helping support 300+ runners throughout the weekend.

🔍 How it Works:

• Sign Up: Volunteers sign up for a 3-hour shift in the Volunteer tab on the registration page
• Discount: Once confirmed, you’ll receive your 25% discount
• Already Registered? No problem. We can refund 25% once your volunteer is locked in
• Not Sure Yet? You can still register now and add a volunteer later (limited spots available)

If you already have a volunteer ready, have them sign up first and we’ll send you your discount code before you register.

🌟 About the Farm

Beechwood Farms ain’t just any patch of dirt—it’s a hardworkin’, produce-growin’ gem of the Upstate. They’re known far and wide for fresh strawberries, sweet corn, squash, tomatoes—you name it. Their crops end up on tables all over, from farmer’s markets and local eateries to big stores like Ingles. It’s a real honor to be out here on land that feeds folks, and to share in the spirit of such a rooted, down-home part of this community.

So take a deep breath, soak in the sights, and let the land carry you. We’re mighty glad you’re here.
