The Golden Hour, Greenville
The Golden Hour is an all day fall running festival on November 28, 2027, held at 220 Lakewood Drive, Greenville, SC 29607, United States. The event centers on two separate one hour running races, one at sunrise and one at sunset, each run on a 1 mile loop. Competitors try to complete as many full one mile laps as possible within the 60 minute period; only completed laps count and partial laps do not.
A mid-day festival connects the two races with family activities and an adult social scene. The Family Zone includes activities such as pumpkin painting, inflatables, a kids dash, scavenger hunt, and a hay-bale play area. The Social Scene features music, food trucks, local beverage vendors, casual games, and a recovery area. The Golden Games are a set of light competitions held during the festival, including a costume dash and partner events.
Every race finisher receives a custom Golden Hour medal, and apparel is available in the event store. Runners who complete both the morning and evening races form the Golden Double; overall awards for Golden Double finishers are based on combined mileage from both races. Age group awards are given for each race across the listed age categories. The event also counts laps toward the Upstate Trail Series standings.
Parking, packet pickup, restroom counts, and weather policy are to be confirmed by the organizer. Live results post to the race results service and event photos are usually available on the event social channels within a few days. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
