Ice Breaker 8K

The Ice Breaker 8K is back and Square One Events alongside Upstate Ultra will be hosting it for the 3rd time at Lakeside Park in Piedmont, SC (just south of Greenville). The new trail system at Lakeside Park is ideal for beginners looking to test out their trail shoes or even advanced runners looking to find some speed around the various switchbacks and turns! 

The course will feature a rolling run/walk/hike through the woods using the "Every Minute Trail" and "All Day, Baby Trail". We never know what the weather will be like, but we know you'll have a great time together. Come join the fun and add this race to your early season schedule now. Runners, walkers, hikers and furry friends are welcome.
