Race the Helix-Upstate
Race the Helix-Upstate is a community charity event held in March at Lake Conestee Nature Park in Greenville, South Carolina. Proceeds benefit the Greenwood Genetic Center Foundation to support genetics services, testing, and research for families affected by genetic disorders.
The event offers both live and virtual options. The live program includes a trail 5K with chip timing and a paved 1 mile walk. The course can accommodate strollers and wheelchairs. Pre-packaged snacks, water, and coffee are provided on race morning. Onsite registration is available through a personal device up until the event start.
Distances:
- 5K live and virtual.
- 1 mile walk live and virtual.
Event entry fees are listed for each option, with the 5K carrying a registration fee and the 1 mile walk offered at no charge. Long sleeve t-shirts are not included with entry but may be purchased for an additional $15 during registration; virtual participants who buy a shirt must pick it up at a Greenwood Genetic Center location. Race awards include top male and female overall and top male and female in each age group. The course map and additional event details are posted before race day.
