DIRECTIONS TO THE RACE - UPDATED!
The US Highway 176 bridge over Crimm Creek in Pomaria is closed until the end of March for repair. That means you cannot get to Pomaria from Columbia on Highway 176. There are some alternate routes which can be used if you are coming from Columbia.
One would be to continue west on I26 and take exit 82, (highway 773). Take a right and travel to the stop sign at US Highway 176. Take a right and drive into Pomaria. Ball field parking would be on your left.
Another route would be to take exit 97 (Peak exit), go down highway 176 and take a right on Hope Station Road. Go to the stop sign and take a left. This brings you into the back side of Pomaria. Ball field parking is on the right. These are the easiest routes. ( Although there are other routes, they require multiple turns on unmarked secondary roads, which could result in lost runners.)
There are no reroutes needed to get to Alston, although there is construction work on Highway 176 at the Peak exit which involves single lane traffic. There are no access issues coming from Newberry/Spartanburg.
Volunteers will be available to direct you to parking that morning
