The Doodle Trail Race Series
The Doodle Trail Race Series is a fall event on the Easley-Pickens Doodle Trail with races based at the Southern Weaving amphitheater, 210 Fern Street, Easley, SC. The series uses the former Pickens–Easley railway as its course and includes multiple distances for different participants.
The distances offered are:
- 13.1 Miles half marathon on the Doodle Trail
- 3.1 Miles 5K starting and finishing at Southern Weaving
- 1 Mile out-and-back fun run for children
The half marathon has aid stations with water, electrolytes, snacks and gels at mile 1.55, 3.0, 6.55, 10, and 11.6. The 5K includes an aid station at the 1.55 mile turnaround. All races start and finish in the Southern Weaving amphitheater.
Every participant receives a race t-shirt and a finisher medal produced by Hickory Handcrafted. Chip timing and live results are provided. A Friday evening packet pickup event is held at Southern Weaving and the day concludes with a Fall Vendor Market and family activities such as a bounce house and face painting.
Awards include engraved railroad spikes for the top three finishers in the half marathon and 5K, and engraved train whistles for the top three in the 1 mile fun run. Medal engraving is available for a fee. A portion of proceeds supports the Downtown Easley Inclusive Playground and the event participates in the Upstate Giving Series.
