Figure-eight loops across 7,000 acres of the old Camp Croft, on roots, rocks, and real elevation. The Semper Fi 8 Mile takes the northern section, the Infantry 25K runs one full loop, and the POW 50K runs two. A central checkpoint and aid station sit at the Activity Center, and you report there each loop.

Croft State Park was Camp Croft, an infantry training center that put tens of thousands of soldiers through these woods in the 1940s, and the terrain has not gotten any friendlier since. This is South Carolina's backcountry — genuinely rugged trail with roots, rocks, and climbing that adds up over a long day.

The figure-eight design means you come back through base camp every loop, which makes crewing simple and gives the day a rhythm. Afterward there is a post-race barracks bash with good tunes, good food, and good people, plus hearty pancakes and soup. Every finisher receives a medal, and your entry supports local nonprofits through the Giving Series.
