The Country Mile 48 Hour
The Country Mile is a 48 hour run/walk held at Beechwood Farms in Slater-Marietta, South Carolina. Participants complete a single 4.167 mile loop as many times as they choose over the weekend. The loop is mostly wide dirt paths with some grass and light gravel and has roughly 25 feet of elevation gain per lap. Clear directional arrows mark each turn.
One aid station at the U-Pick Stand serves runners once per lap. The aid station offers water, Coke, ginger ale, coffee, and snacks such as cookies, pretzels, candy, chips, pickles, and soup. This is a cup-less event; participants should bring their own hydration vessel.
On-site camping is available free for tents and car campers; RV spots are limited and have a fee for the first set of spaces. Five hot meals are prepared during the weekend by a local high school group as a fundraiser. Parking is free with a designated day use lot for spectators and separate on-course parking for campers.
Every finisher receives a medal and hundred mile finishers receive a buckle. Top three overall finishers receive trophies and age group awards are presented in multiple categories. Chip timing with live results is provided. Registration details list a $130 entry fee and specified open and close registration dates.
