Saturday, January 23, 2027Greenville, SC50K

The Snowbird Challenge is a unique winter endurance event held at the scenic Riverwest Nature Preserve in Greenville, South Carolina. Runners tackle a 2.62-mile loop on a former golf course, featuring rolling paved paths, wooden bridges, and tranquil riverfront views. This event uses a challenging format where participants must complete each loop within a 45-minute window, allowing for rest intervals between laps. Whether you are aiming for a 5-mile run or pushing toward a 50K ultra distance, the course offers a mix of pavement and trail sections. The athlete village serves as a central hub where runners can set up tents and gear to stay warm between laps. It is a perfect test of grit for those looking to stay active during the colder months.
