Several hundred runners and walkers cross the finish line each year at Rock Hill’s Celebrate Life Half Marathon, a half marathon race event that serves as a fundraiser for the locally-based charity organization Citizens Reunited to Overcome Cancer, which works to help cancer patients with their financial needs and challenges.
From the starting line just off Highway 17 near the Holiday Mountain Ski Area, the race takes runners on an out-and-back course that features loops around the shorelines of the lakes just south of town, including Wolf Lake, Treasure Lake and Lake Louise Marie.
Run on paved surfaces throughout its 13.1 miles, the race route was modified in 2009 to eliminate the hill around the mile 10 point of previous years and to give the race a downhill finish, to the finish line at The Lodge at Rock Hill.
Open to both runners and walkers, the race starts promptly at 10:00 AM, with two early starts — 8:45 AM for the walkers and 9:30 AM for the slower runners (those who expect to take more than 2 hours, 30 minutes to finish).
In 2014, the race added a 2-person half marathon relay for the first time, to join the individual half marathon run/walk.
