Event
Details
One of South Carolina's marquee running events (and part of its
Palmetto Grand Prix and Tour de Columbia race
events) the Governor's Cup Road Race features
a series of events over the weekend, including the half marathon, an 8K
run, a 4-mile walk and a kids' fun run. The course for the half is
described by organizers as scenic with plenty of "rolling terrain," as
the city is known for its hills, and includes an uphill finishing
stretch.
Run entirely along paved surfaces, the Governor's Cup
half-marathon starts downtown near the South Carolina State House,
taking runners on a tour of the city through historic neighborhoods
such as Five Points and Shandon, and ends at the University of South
Carolina "horseshoe" area.
