Run Like A Nut

Run Like A Nut takes place in Florence, South Carolina, on November 7, 2026, with three distances staggered through the morning: the half marathon (13.1 miles) at 8 a.m., the 10K at 8:30 and the 5K (3.1 miles) at 9. The courses pass through the historic neighborhoods of downtown Florence, and the SC Pecan Music and Food Festival is on nearby afterwards. Overall and age-group awards are handed out, and strollers and pets are welcome.

Three distances on one morning makes this an easy race to bring a mixed group to, with the half marathon runners finishing not long after the 5K field sets off. If the half is your target, a 12-week build with a weekly long run growing toward 11 or 12 miles will have you ready; the 10K needs less, and the 5K is approachable on a month of consistent running.
