Knock On Wood Trail Run/Hike - 13.1 & 10k

🌳✌️ Welcome to Knock on Woodstock ✌️🌳

A far-out trail experience brought to you by the Upstate Race Series

Hey there, beautiful soul 🌞! Are you ready to tune in, lace up, and let your spirit run wild through the woods of Pleasant Ridge County Park? Well dig this—Knock on Woodstock is calling your name, and it's not just any race. It's a journey. A vibe. A loop of love, nature, and good energy, all in support of something truly cosmic—Camp Spearhead.

This groovy little event takes place at Camp Spearhead, a magical sanctuary that gives kids and adults with disabilities a chance to play, grow, and feel the love all year long. We're talkin’ horseback rides, crafts, new friendships, and all the smiles the world can handle. By running this race, you’re not just chasing miles—you’re sharing light and giving back to a beautiful community. Far out, right?

🌼 The Course, Man

Our loop is a 10K trail groove with around 650 feet of sweet, rolling elevation per lap. It’s got flow, it’s got rhythm, and it’s got over 90% shade so your chakras stay cool. Directional arrows will guide your path like the universe intended—but if you wander, no worries. Just trace your steps back to your moment of confusion and get back in your groove.

🍪 Aid Station Goodies 🍬

You’ll find one stellar aid station at the main shelter every loop. 

• Pickles (for your pickle-loving heart)

• Cookies and chips (because why not?)

• Candy, fig newtons, and pretzels (a snackin’ symphony)

• Hydration? Oh yeah – water, Coke, and a splash of ginger ale

• 🛑 Cup-less, dude! Bring your own hydration vessel. Let’s keep Mother Earth happy.

Got a homemade treat or a favorite snack? Share the love! We’re all about community-powered aid stations here. ✊

 
💚 More Than a Race

This isn’t just a trail run—it’s a celebration of movement, inclusion, and the natural magic of Greenville County. Bring a friend, feel the earth beneath your feet, and soak up the good vibes. Donations from this righteous gathering go straight to Camp Spearhead, helping keep the joy flowing all year long. So come run with us, connect with nature, and leave a little piece of your soul on the trail. Peace, love, and trail shoes, baby.
