The annual Palmetto Peach Half Marathon, 10K and 5K brought a sold-out field to SRP Park on a freezing Saturday morning, sending more than 1,800 runners through a scenic two-state course.

The event is known for its a unique experience that begins at SRP Park in South Carolina before guiding runners along the quiet North Augusta Greeneway, through downtown North Augusta, across the Savannah River into Georgia and back again for a finish inside the ballpark. The race also offered full support on the course, including multiple water stations, GU and Nuun hydration points, runner tracking, chip timing, and a busy finish-line zone.

Runners in all three distances received finisher medals, and this year’s swag included a New Balance full-zip hoodie jacket, though organizers noted that 2025 jacket quantities were sold out before race day. The event once again hit its maximum participant cap, with all in-person races closing registration ahead of the Nov. 26 deadline.
