Springmaid Trail Race

Springmaid Trail Race is held in Fort Mill, South Carolina, on November 7, 2026, and is hosted by the ASC Greenway. Three trail distances are offered with staggered starts: the half marathon (13.1 miles) at 8:15 AM, the 10K at 9:00 AM and the 5K at 9:30 AM.

With the longest format being a half marathon, this is a friendly event for runners who want to try trails without committing to ultra distances, and the later start times make it easy to bring the family along. The 5K is an approachable first trail race, the 10K is a nice step up, and the half marathon is a good goal for road runners looking to test themselves on dirt. Prepare with a 10- to 12-week plan that includes at least one weekly run on trails, some strides for leg turnover, and a long run that gradually reaches the race distance.
