The Country Mile 48 Hour
The Country Mile 48 Hour is a timed run and walk event held Friday to Sunday, April 2–4, 2027 at Beechwood Farms in Marietta, SC. The format is a single 4.167 mile loop on a working farm that participants may repeat as many times as they wish during the 48 hour period.
The course surface is mostly wide dirt paths with some grass and light gravel, and each lap has roughly 25 feet of elevation gain. Clear directional arrows mark every turn. One aid station at the U-Pick Stand is reached once per lap and offers snacks and hydration; overnight aid station support is limited while volunteers rest, though timing runs continuously. The event is cup-less and participants bring their own hydration vessel.
Typical lap counts and distances:
- 6 laps - 25 miles
- 8 laps - 50K
- 12 laps - 50 miles
- 15 laps - 100K
- 18 laps - 75 miles
- 24 laps - 100 miles
- 30 laps - 125 miles
On-site facilities include free tent and car camping, paid RV spots for a limited number, free parking, portable restrooms and one indoor bathroom at the U-Pick Stand. Meals are served on site as a fundraiser, and a beer truck operates throughout the weekend. Chip timing with live results, custom bibs, finisher medals, and awards for top overall and age group placings are provided. The event supports local nonprofits through the Upstate Giving Series.
