About the race
Broad River Half Marathon Run/Hike is a trail event held at Harbison State Forest in Columbia, SC on November 21, 2026. The course covers well-maintained singletrack and multiuse trails through tall pines and hardwoods, crosses peaceful creeks, and features varied but moderate elevation over the full distance. Expect autumn leaves underfoot and crisp late-November air.
Distances
- 13.1 Miles
Aid stations are located at mile 4.8, mile 11, and the start/finish area. The event is cup-less, so participants should carry their own hydration vessel. Parking is available adjacent to the gazebo near the start and finish; a park entry fee is required at arrival and can be paid with exact cash or via QR code. Packet pickup is race morning under the gazebo and is race day only. A five hour time limit applies to the course.
Finishers receive a custom medal, a race-branded bib, a race tattoo, and a sticker. Chip timing with live results will be used. A Thanksgiving-style Southern post-race meal is provided at the finish, with meat-and-three options and vegetarian choices. Top three overall male and female finishers receive trophies, and age group awards are given for 15 age categories. The event is part of the Upstate Giving Series and supports local nonprofits.
