About the race
The Sesquilizer is an organized running event in Columbia, SC held on November 22, 2026, covering 8.67 mile on a measured course that includes about 700 feet of elevation gain. The mapped route and activity files were provided for reference by the organizer.
The event uses a staggered start format that assigns different start times by age and gender to equalize the field. There are 22 start groups in total; 21 of those groups depart in one minute intervals and the fastest young men start last. The event name combines Sesquicentennial and Equalizer and draws inspiration from other races that use age and gender adjustments.
Awards are expected to be given to the top eight overall finishers, reflecting the event focus on equalized results rather than separate category prizes. A raffle is scheduled after the race. Each participant receives a unisex t shirt with size options from XS to XL.
The race location is listed as 9564 Two Notch Road, Columbia, SC. The published entry fee range is $75.81 in US dollars and the event is presented as an in person competition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
