The Back 9

Experience the thrill of endurance at the Riverwest Nature Preserve, where a scenic 2.5-mile loop awaits athletes of all levels. This race series takes place on a unique, non-profit land preserve just outside Greenville, South Carolina, featuring the old cart paths of a former golf course. Participants can choose from timed events lasting 3, 6, or 12 hours, each offering a challenging yet rewarding adventure amidst nature.The land, recently protected by The Ethos Project under a conservation easement, preserves its stunning natural state. With no water or power on site, athletes should prepare their supplies, although an aid station will provide essential nutrition.

All participants receive race swag, including finisher medals, custom stickers, and wristbands, with optional camping available during registration. Top performers are celebrated with custom handmade awards and noted in our race series results.

For those staying overnight, setting up a personal aid station or tent near the start/finish line is encouraged, enhancing the race experience with personal comfort. The event emphasizes eco-friendliness, so runners should bring their own cups, utensils, and bags to minimize environmental impact.

Immerse yourself in this exciting challenge and join a community dedicated to preserving and appreciating the beauty of the natural world.
