Kick of the new year with a half marathon in South Carolina!

In January, South Carolina has the Resolution Run Half Marathon in Travelers Rest, and the Charleston Half Marathon in Charleston, SC.

Fall Running and Half Marathons in South Carolina

2014-10-10T22:54:00.000-06:00

South Carolina has a fairly busy half marathon schedule for the fall season, with 6 half marathons in October, and 5 half marathons in November, and wraps up the year with 2 half marathons in December. The month of October in South Carolina is still a little warm, reaching average high temps in the mid 70's, though November is ideal with average high temps in the upper 60's. Runners love to travel to South Carolina to enjoy running along the ocean, making for a great vacation combining a half marathon with a little vacation time beach side. May through September half marathon race season slows down due to the heat, but half marathons continue to grow throughout the spring and fall seasons. South Carolina had a total of 27 half marathons in 2012, growing to a total of 36 half marathons for the 2014 calendar year. To view all half marathons in SC, visit the South Carolina Half Marathons calendar.

Camp Croft Trail Half Marathon coming up this weekend Nov 12, 2011

2011-11-10T22:44:00.001-07:00

Trail Half Marathons are growing, and Camp Croft Half Marathon appears to be a great trail event taking place at Camp Croft State Park in Spartanburg South Carolina this weekend with the weather looking to a beautiful sunny day, maybe a little chilly in the morning, but a high of 65 degree forecast, .... perfect running weather! Only 3 aid stations on the course, so runners may want to bring extra water for this challenging course. Other trail run half marathons throughout the year in South Carolina include the Francis Marion Dirt Dash Half Marathon in the month of September and the ever growing Xterras, the Xterra Trail Half Marathon taking place in Columbia, SC in the month of July. Coming from being a road runner all my life and trying my first trail half marathon this past year, I'd forewarn any of the typical half marathon runners to start out with a shorter trail distance for your first trail event. Trail events are a lot of fun, but definitely take more effort to complete than running a road half marathon. I learned the hard way, haha. Good luck to all you runners participating this weekend, and if you notice any half marathons missing from our South Carolina Half Marathon Calendar at www.halfmarathonsearch.com , please give us a shout.
