How fast is it?

Faster than most South Carolina half marathons

The fastest quarter of the 2026 half marathon field finished under 1:44:54, against 1:53:06 in a typical South Carolina half marathon, so times here run 7 percent faster.

  • 5K: About average for South Carolina 5Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 28:14, against 28:28 in a typical South Carolina 5K, so times here are about average.

Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.

Typical race-day weather

Around February 27 the day usually runs from 44°F at dawn to 64°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 21% of days. Cold snaps dip to 30°F and hot years reach 73°F.

Based on 76 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
