Cottonmouth 8 Mile

Greenville, United States • 6 Jun 2026

The Cottonmouth 8 Mile & Beerlay is a unique and lively trail running event held at Lakewood Nature Preserve in Greenville, SC. Participants run an 8-mile course consisting of four 2-mile grassy trail loops featuring rolling hills and scenic wildlife. The race offers solo and relay options (teams of 2-4), with a fun twist: before each lap, runners must drink a randomly selected beer from a BYOB community pool, adding a playful challenge. The event includes chip timing, finisher medals, custom bibs, and a festive post-race party with a hot dog bar, music, free photos, and Beer Olympics games like beer pong and tug of war. It supports the Upstate Running Club Youth Team and promotes a spirited celebration of running, nature, and camaraderie. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
