Carolina Reaper Challenge 50k

The Carolina Reaper Challenge is a fiery endurance race held at Riverwest Nature Preserve in Greenville, South Carolina. Featuring distances of 5 miles, a half marathon, a 50k ultra, and a 12-leg relay, runners tackle a paved 2.62-mile loop through rolling hills, wooden bridges, waterfalls, and riverfront views. Participants must complete each lap within 45 minutes to continue, adding a thrilling time challenge.

The event offers a bold atmosphere with themed swag, finisher medals, custom race tattoos, and live music. Aid stations provide snacks and hydration, but runners must bring their own hydration vessels. Proceeds support the Upstate Running Club Youth Team.
