Welcome to The Country Mile 48-Hour!

Hosted at Beechwood Family Farm | Marietta, SC

We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome 300 strong-hearted folks out here for a weekend filled with dirt, distance, and some good ol’-fashioned farm fun. This here patch of land—Beechwood Family Farm—is one of the Upstate’s prettiest spots, and they’ve kindly opened up their fields so y’all can stretch your legs and chase dreams from 50K all the way up to a big ol’ 150 miles.

Now I’ll tell ya somethin’ personal—growing up runnin’ dirt roads through Indiana and Ohio, there was a kind of peace in the rhythm of it, like the land itself was singin' to ya. That’s the feelin’ I hope y’all find out here this weekend. Just you, the trail, and the wide open sky.

About the Farm

• Beechwood Farms: A hardworkin’, produce-growin’ gem of the Upstate.
• Crops: Known for fresh strawberries, sweet corn, squash, tomatoes—you name it.
• Community Importance: Their crops feed folks all over, from farmer’s markets and local eateries to big stores like Ingles.
• Welcome Feel: So take a deep breath, soak in the sights, and let the land carry you. We’re mighty glad you’re here.

Race Format

Run as far as you want, when you want—on a looped 4.167-mile course.

• Finisher Medals: For all other distances
• Cumulative Mileage Awards: Confirm your total mileage with our shared google sheet post event.
