Welcome to The Country Mile 48-Hour!
Hosted at Beechwood Family Farm | Marietta, SC

We’re thrilled to bring together 300 incredible runners for a weekend of dirt, distance, and good old-fashioned fun at one of the Upstate’s most scenic farms. Beechwood Family Farm has graciously invited us to turn their fields into a playground for endurance runners chasing goals from 50K to 150 miles. For me, growing up running down long dirt roads in Indiana and Ohio, events like this are a way to reconnect with that peaceful, simple joy of getting lost in nature. We hope this weekend brings you the same feeling.

 
The Farm

Beechwood Farms is a local gem known for its fresh, high-quality produce—strawberries, sweet corn, squash, tomatoes, and more. You’ll find their vegetables in farmer’s markets, restaurants, and even major retailers like Ingles. We’re honored to share the land with such a vibrant piece of the Upstate’s agricultural community.
