Altamont Challenge Half Marathon

The Altamont Challenge Half Marathon is a challenging 13.1-mile road race held in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, featuring a demanding course that ascends over 2,000 feet up Paris Mountain via Altamont Road. Participants experience scenic views, running through lush forests and past streams, culminating in a rewarding summit vista. The out-and-back route starts and finishes at Poinsett Park, with three aid stations offering hydration and snacks.

The event fosters a supportive running community atmosphere, complete with finisher medals, custom bibs, post-race pancakes, music, and live chip timing. Proceeds support the Upstate Running Club Youth Team, making it both a competitive and charitable event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
