Long Night in Lanford

🌕 LONG NIGHT IN LANFORD

Are you ready to howl at the moon? 🌜🐺

This isn’t your average race. This is a dusk-to-dawn trail challenge designed to test your limits and light your fire. The rules are simple:

• Start: at dusk (around 5:30 PM — we’ll go with the setting sun)
• Finish: at dawn
• Complete: the first lap at dusk and the last lap at dawn to be a finisher
• The winner: Whoever racks up the most laps by sunrise! NO cut-off times. NO speed requirements. ALL levels welcome. Walk, jog, or run — just keep moving!

🌲 The Trail

This is a 1-mile off-road loop through the scenic South Carolina countryside:

• Start: at the barn on gravel
• Cruise: downhill into the woods
• Pop out: into an open field along Beaverdam Creek
• Dash: through pine trees and hay pastures, loop back to the barn on gravel

Expect uneven terrain, wildlife, and the full charm of a Southern fall night. 🌿🌙

No strollers or pets — the farm dogs have the trail covered!
