The Mountaineer Rumble 10 Mile-50K-100K-100 Miler returns to Kings Mountain State Park in Clover, South Carolina on November 7th, offering a diverse set of distances for trail runners. The event takes place at the heart of the park along the CCC Multi-Use Trail (Orange Blaze), known for its challenging terrain and scenic views.

On race morning, runners can expect firm yet slightly soft trail conditions that are characteristic of the park’s well-maintained paths. The CCC Multi-Use Trail winds through dense forests and over rocky hills, providing a mix of elevation changes and flat stretches.

The event attracts hundreds of participants each year who come to test their limits on rugged terrain while supporting local conservation efforts through race proceeds. In addition to individual accolades and finishers awards, runners completing all three distances over multiple years can earn a custom handmade award celebrating their dedication.
