I'm going to run across South Carolina (Trans-SC Run); from Mountains to Sea, in early November 2017. Please read on for more info.
The ROUTE/PATH (*main stipulation*) will extend from the Blue Ridge Ecoregion, specifically the Southern Crystalline Ridges and Mountains, to the Southern Coastal Plain Ecoregion, specifically the Sea Islands/Coastal Marsh (on the beach or in the ocean). Check out Ecoregions here:

. **This is NOT the Palmetto Trail**
I will attempt to set/establish (please someone correct me if I'm wrong) the supported Fastest Known Time for the on-foot crossing of South Carolina (Trans-SC run) beginning on Thursday Nov. 2nd, 2017 at 10AM on the SC/NC Border (Route 276). My route will be approximately 300 miles and will travel through the three major metro areas (Greenville, Columbia, Charleston) and I will end of Folly Beach, SC - in the ocean near the Folly Beach Fishing Pier.
Live tracking will be available through the website I've set up for this (plenty of other information there too): runningforrivers.com/ (Garmin InReach tracker/website plugin coming soon) and daily GPS watch data will be uploaded to Strava:

Anyone and everyone is welcome to come out and observe, join for many miles, etc. Please email me at
if you're interested in setting that up ahead of time.
All the best,
Keith "Wildman" Hanson
