Race Review for Half Marathons in South Carolina

Do you have a race review for a half marathon in South Carolina?  If so, feel free to submit a half marathon review for consideration!  Here are some great topics runners like to read about in your half marathon review:

Was the race website organized and informative?  Distances visible on home page, full address of location for out of state visitors, city and state visible of non-local participants, details about course, critical info easily found, etc.

Was the race well organized?  Packet pick up, expo, start time, timing, support?

Did this race have an expo, or just a small packet pickup?

Were enough volunteers recruited? How was on course support?  Enough food?  Enough water?

How was the post race party?  Good food? Music?  Enough food?  Enough refreshments & recovery food or drinks? Describe.

How was the medal? below average? average? excellent?  beyond excellent, pretty cool?
Do you have a photo to share of your bling to include?

How was the swag?  Any awesome swag?  Brand of shirt?

How was the cost of the race compared to most half marathons?  about average, a great deal, way too expensive for the swag, bling and support that was provided, well worth the cost for the swag, bling, post race party and support received?


Was this a small race, a medium sized race, or large race?

Was the course scenic?  What was the highlight of the course (or highlights of the course)?
What made the course fun (or totally boring)?
Do you have any good scenic course photos to send us?

Describe the course.  Was it flat?  Rollers the whole way?  Flat with one big monster hill?  All up?  All down?  All up then all down? etc.  Was it shaded?  Trees, dessert, mountainous, city streets, all neighborhoods, through a park, etc?

We love to hear from our half marathon runners about all the half marathon races out there that you love, like, or didn't care for, and appreciate your feedback.  We may share your review in multiple locations such as our half marathon blogs, or possibly even on Halfmarathonsearch.com.  You can ask to be published anonymously if you'd like, but we do need your information in order to publish.

Happy Running!

Average weather temps in Charleston and Travelers Rest in January tend to be in the 50's, which could make for a chilly race start early morning, but nice running temps for those that don't care to run in the hot temps!

Fall Running and Half Marathons in South Carolina


South Carolina has a fairly busy half marathon schedule for the fall season, with 6 half marathons in October, and 5 half marathons in November, and wraps up the year with 2 half marathons in December.  The month of October in South Carolina is still a little warm, reaching average high temps in the mid 70's, though November is ideal with average high temps in the upper 60's.  Runners love to travel to South Carolina to enjoy running along the ocean, making for a great vacation combining a half marathon with a little vacation time beach side.  May through September half marathon race season slows down due to the heat, but half marathons continue to grow throughout the spring and fall seasons.  South Carolina had a total of 27 half marathons in 2012, growing to a total of 36 half marathons for the 2014 calendar year. To view all half marathons in SC, visit the South Carolina Half Marathons calendar.
