Description

The Quarry Crusher Run is the only race of its kind in South Carolina and one of only a handful in the entire country!  Participants will receive a signature race t-shirt.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at the magnificent landscape of the environmentally-responsible, operational Olympia Quarry.  In addition to the other worldly feeling of the scenery, runners can take in ancient rock deposits, waterfalls and may even encounter deer, fox and red-tailed hawks.

The Quarry Crusher Run is a unique opportunity for runners to challenge themselves physically and get an exclusive look at the Olympia Quarry and the massive equipment used in excavation.  The quarry was started in 1880 and is now one of South Carolinas largest aggregate operations processing an average of 10,000 tons of rock a day.

Course Info
The approximately 3.72-mile route starts and finishes at the green space in front of the impressive Olympia and Granby Mills Apartments in the Olympia Village.  Once in the quarry, the route winds down a 10% grade through granite cliffs to the quarry floor.  The approximately 375-foot ascent from the quarry floor to the finish marks the grueling event as Columbias most challenging foot race!  Because it is a working quarry, the precise distance of the race wont be known until closer to the race date as  excavation continues to go deeper.
