True to the Brew Trail 10K Run/Hike

Embark on an unforgettable journey at the 9th Annual True to the Brew Trail 10K Run/Hike, set for Saturday, March 28, 2026, in the charming town of Pomaria, SC. This highly anticipated event, which consistently sells out, invites a capped field of 300 participants to experience the scenic beauty of the Peak to Prosperity Passage of the Palmetto Trail. The course itself is a runner's delight, utilizing an old railroad trail that is largely non-technical, wide, and remarkably flat, with only a brief underpass providing any incline, making it ideal for all levels of runners and hikers.

The True to the Brew 10K offers a unique point-to-point adventure, starting at the Palmetto Trail entrance behind Wilson's Grocery and culminating at the impressive Broad River Trestle at Alston Trail Head. Along the way, runners and hikers will find several well-stocked water/aid stations to keep them hydrated. Beyond the picturesque trails and supportive atmosphere, what truly sets this race apart is its legendary finish line celebration. Participants are greeted with live music, professional photography, delicious fresh-off-the-grill breakfast, and a well-deserved complimentary beer to toast their accomplishment. Typical race day conditions in late March include pleasant highs around 69F and lows near 40F, with only a 12% chance of precipitation, providing excellent weather for hitting the trails.

Proceeds from the True to the Brew Trail 10K benefit the Palmetto Conservation Foundation, supporting their mission to foster appreciation for South Carolina's natural and cultural resources through the Palmetto Trail. This inclusive event even welcomes leashed dogs, ensuring everyone can enjoy the outdoor experience. Plan your adventure to Pomaria and secure your spot early for a race that promises beautiful scenery, a friendly atmosphere, and a celebratory finish line.
