Sandhills Trail Race Series
The Sandhills Trail Race Series is a multi-distance trail festival held at Sesquicentennial State Park in Columbia, SC. All distances use a single 7.75 mile loop of mostly soft pine needle singletrack with a few smooth paved sections around the lake. The loop features rolling hills, lake views, sandy trails beneath tall pines, and passes both campsite areas.

On course there is one fully stocked aid station located at the start/finish, reached every 7.75 miles. Available snacks include pickles, cookies, candy, chips, Fig Newtons, and pretzels, with water, Coke, and ginger ale for hydration. This is a cup-less event; participants should bring their own hydration vessel.
Facilities and services include packet pickup at Picnic Shelter #2 near the ranger station, parking in the open field adjacent to the start/finish or the main lot, and on-site or nearby camping through the park. Timing uses custom bibs and chip timing with live results and professional photos provided after the race. All finishers receive a medal, and 100 mile finishers receive a belt buckle. The event supports the SC Spinal Cord Injury Association and participates in the Upstate Giving Series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
