Race Information & Registration

In Memory of Sgt. Bryan Goff

We are sad to report that Sgt. Bryan Goff, the City's police event coordinator, died on March 3, 2009. Sgt. Goff was an integral part of every festival, organized run, parade and celebration in the City of Columbia. All proceeds from this year's walk will benefit Sgt. Goff's family to help cover his enormous medical bills. Please help us show this local hero's family how much we valued and appreciated his many years of service and commitment to making our city a better place to live and enjoy.

  • Online applications and registration which reduces paper and mailing

  • Bike Valet will be availale at 7 a.m. at the intersection of Blossom and Saluda
  • Water bottle filling stations which will reduce waste to landfill

What you can do to GO GREEN:

  • Register online at www.strictlyrunning.com to save paper
