Car/Tent Camping prior to Color Run
Car/Tent camping and Participation in "The Color Run"
Details
This activity is multiple parts.
Part 1 is Camping at the awesome Sesquicentennial State Park outside Columbia SC and part 2 is participatating in the Color Run 5K on Saturday Morning in Historic Columbia.
Part 1
- Sesquicentennial State Park, affectionately known to locals as "Sesqui", is a spacious, green getaway in the heart of the Sandhills region.
Part 2
- The Color Run™ event is a one of a kind experience that is less about speed and more about enjoying a color crazy day with your friends and family. For our events, it is about participants of all different speeds, ages, shapes, and sizes toeing the start line. Whether you are a casual morning mall walker or an Olympic athlete, the 3 miles of The Color Run™ course will be the most enjoyable real estate you’ve traveled in a VERY long time.
The Plan -
This weekend is open to anyone.
- If you just want to camp and not run - teriffic.
- If you want to run (or walk) and not camp - outstanding.
- If you want to do both - awesome!!
if you plan to participate in camping - you'll need to reserve a space at the campground. www.reserveamerica.com the campground direct URL is http://www.southcarolinaparks.com/sesqui/introduction.aspx
If you plan to run you'll need to register to run or walk - that is www.thecolorrun.com/columbia
Saturday evening, those that are camping, we will coordinate a group meal together.
Directions
For Campers - Look for a back Jeep Wrangler with a small red TearDrop camper trailer. ETA for arrival at the park on Friday 3/1 is 5PM.
For Runners only - Plan to meet at Finlay Park - 930 Laurel Street (the Race beginning / end). Exact time is TBD depending on final confirmation of race particulars from the run folks.
email Ray directly to get direct contact information (email/phone) to properly coordinate logistics.
