Cottonmouth 8 Mile

The Cottonmouth 8 Mile & Beerlay is a unique and lively trail running event held at Lakewood Nature Preserve in Greenville, SC. Participants can run solo or as part of a relay team of 2-4 people, completing four 2-mile laps for a total of 8 miles. Before each lap, runners must drink a randomly selected beer from a community BYOB pool, adding a fun and challenging twist.

The course features rolling hills, wildlife, and a rustic barn serving as race headquarters. After the race, a festive party includes a hot dog bar, music, free photos, giveaways, and Beer Olympics with games like beer pong and cornhole.
