Lakeside Park 8K Run/Walk
The Lakeside Park 8K is an eight-kilometer loop through soft, natural trails at Lakeside Park in Piedmont, SC (1500 Piedmont Hwy). The route includes some single-track mountain biking sections and a central hub that keeps runners and walkers oriented even when deep in the forest. The surface is described as soft underfoot and the singletrack sections add texture to the course.
Parking is available at Lakeside Park within 100 meters of the start and finish areas; parking is free on race day but Greenville County Parks and Rec requires a $5 special use permit that is paid during registration. There is no aid station on the course; water and refreshments are provided at the finish line. Restrooms are located near the start and finish.
Packet pickup is at Lakeside Park about an hour prior to the event; no proxy pickups are allowed. Race-day mobile registration is available until the race starts. A 90-minute time limit applies to the course.
Finishers receive a custom medal. Included services and items listed for participants include chip timing with live results, a custom bib, event-themed giveaways, a race sticker, a custom race tattoo, a hydration sample, and complimentary professional race photos. Awards include trophies for the top three overall male and female finishers and age-group medals for 15 categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
