READY TO RUN

Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

The defining feature of the 2Slow4Boston Marathon is that it has no time limit at all.

Because all you need to do is finish, it's especially well known among runners who have put off marathons due to worries about time limit.

The race's whole concept is that "last place wins" — $20 from each marathon entry fee is pooled and paid out as prize money to the three slowest finishers.

Bib pickup is recommended the day before the race between 1:30 PM and 5:30 PM, and besides the marathon, the half marathon and 50K events are also held.

Times are local to Greer. Check the latest official information before the race.
