Long Night in Lanford

 
🌌 LONG NIGHT IN LANFORD

Are you ready to howl at the moon? 🌕🐾

This isn’t your average race. This is a dusk-to-dawn trail challenge designed to test your limits and light your fire. The rules are simple:

🕠 Start at dusk (around 5:30 PM — we’ll go with the setting sun)
🌅 Finish at dawn
🏁 Complete the first lap at dusk and the last lap at dawn to be a finisher
🏆 The winner? Whoever racks up the most laps by sunrise!
NO cut-off times. NO speed requirements. ALL levels welcome. Walk, jog, or run — just keep moving!

 
🌲 The Trail

This is a 1-mile off-road loop through the scenic South Carolina countryside:

Start at the barn on gravel
Cruise downhill into the woods
Pop out into an open field along Beaverdam Creek
Dash through pine trees and hay pastures
Loop back to the barn on gravel
Expect uneven terrain, wildlife, and the full charm of a Southern fall night. 🌾🌙

🚫 No strollers or pets — the farm dogs have the trail covered!
