Sandhills Trail Race Series
The Sandhills Trail Race Series is a multi-distance trail festival held February 20–21, 2027 at Sesquicentennial State Park in Columbia, SC. The event uses a single 7.5 mile loop for all distances and emphasizes natural trail features and lake views.
The loop is mostly soft, pine-needle singletrack with rolling hills, a few smooth paved sections around the lake, and sandy trails beneath tall pines. The route passes campsite areas, so crews and families can access runners at multiple points. One fully stocked aid station sits at the start/finish and is reached every 7.5 miles. The event is cup-less; participants should bring their own hydration vessel. Overnight runners should expect limited crew and aid support during the late-night hours.
