Cottonmouth 8 Mile

The Cottonmouth 8 Mile & Beerlay is a unique and lively 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 on a scenic, grassy trail featuring rolling hills and wildlife. Before each lap, runners must drink a randomly selected beer from a BYOB community pool, adding a fun and challenging twist.

The event includes chip timing, finisher medals, custom bibs, and a post-race party with a hot dog bar, music, free photos, and Beer Olympics games like beer pong and cornhole. Proceeds support the Upstate Running Club Youth Team. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
