Conestee Nature Preserve 8K Run/Walk
The event is an 8K trail run and walk held at Conestee Nature Preserve in Greenville, SC, at 840 Mauldin Road. The course is a roughly five-mile loop across soft natural trails, including singletrack sections and several wooden boardwalks that cross quiet wetlands. The route gains about 285 feet in small increments and passes through shaded forest; participants follow yellow arrows along the way.
Parking and park admission are free and available adjacent to the Pavilion. Packet pickup is available at the Pavilion on race day only, and participants must collect their own packets. There are on-site restrooms, a drop bag area for personal items, and water available at the finish line. There are no water stations on the course.
Timing is chip-based with live results. Every finisher receives a custom medal, a race tattoo, event giveaways, a sticker, and complimentary professional photos. Post-race pancakes and music are provided at the finish area. Awards include trophies for the top three overall male and female finishers and age group medals for first through third in 15 age categories. This event is part of the Upstate Giving Series and the Upstate Trail Series, with entry support directed to local nonprofits through the Giving Series.
