Cold start — layer up, warming through the race

Runners will start in chilly 37°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temperatures rising to 50°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

About the Snowbird Challenge 50K

The Snowbird Challenge 50K is twelve laps, about 31.4 miles, of a paved 2.62-mile loop through the 240-acre Riverwest Preserve, a former golf course in Greenville, South Carolina. Cart paths, wooden bridges, waterfalls and riverfront views make up each loop, and the surface is paved throughout. The 50K is the longest distance on the Saturday of the race's late-January weekend and finishes on the same final lap as the relay.
