Koala Bottle Table Rock 15K & 5K

🏃‍♂️ Welcome to the Koala Bottle Table Rock 15K & 5K

Runners and families are invited to enjoy the great outdoors on the doorstep of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northwest South Carolina. The scenic 5k course is great for novice trail runners and experienced racers alike. The single track trails meander along and across scenic Carrick Creek from the nature center as you climb toward Pinnacle Mountain. After a short climb, the 5k runners will race downhill, looping back toward the start/finish line.

🏔️ Challenging 15K Race Course

Up for more of a challenge? The 15k race course, which is currently closer to a 17K, will test the most seasoned trail runners. It follows the same route as the 5k for the first two miles. However, the 15k course climbs nearly 2000 feet over the first 5 miles:

• Climbing Challenge: Nearly 2000 feet of elevation gain.
• Stunning Views: Spectacular views from Bald Rock and other overlooks.
• Trail Features: More stream crossings, gnarly roots, and jagged rocks.
• Finish Line Perks: Plenty of food and ice-cold drinks to replenish your body.
