Long Night in Lanford

LONG NIGHT IN LANFORD

Are you ready to howl at the moon?

This isn’t your average race. This is a dusk-to-dawn trail challenge designed to test your limits and light your fire. The rules are simple:

Start at dusk (around 5:30 PM — we’ll go with the setting sun)

Finish at dawn

Complete the first lap at dusk and the last lap at dawn to be a finisher

The winner? Whoever racks up the most laps by sunrise!

NO cut-off times. NO speed requirements. ALL levels welcome. Walk, jog, or run — just keep moving!

The Trail

This is a 1-mile off-road loop through the scenic South Carolina countryside:

Start at the barn on gravel

Cruise downhill into the woods

Pop out into an open field along Beaverdam Creek

Dash through pine trees and hay pastures

Loop back to the barn on gravel

Expect uneven terrain, wildlife, and the full charm of a Southern fall night.

No strollers or pets — the farm dogs have the trail covered!

Night Moves

First lap: with the sunset to get your bearings

Then it’s headlamps and flashlights all night long!

Horn blasts will guide you: Start of the race

Midnight = direction change

Final lap at dawn

Bring your own light source! We’ll keep the aid station stocked with snacks, water, and hot food all night long thanks to our friends at Tailwind Nutrition.
