Race 2 Read is a great 5 mile race that benefits Kershaw County's Early Literacy Program. The race starts and ends at Doby's Mill Elementary School, so there is plenty of parking. This is a road race, but be prepared to run a portion of the race on a well-packed down dirt road,as well as a half mile around the Nature Trail of the Elementary School. It's nothing that your normal road shoes can't handle. The course has a good mix of flat, downhill, and uphill, with a particularly hard hill around Mile 3. No shirt, but you get an awesome Tervis Tumbler with the race logo, which is so much better than a shirt. 2015's race switched to Nalgene bottles with the race logo. The finisher's awards are always something handmade by the students or the teachers of the elementary school. In 2013, it was handpainted gords, 1015 it was handpainted bricks that looked like famous childrens' book covers. There is plenty of food to choose from at post race, with the usual bagels, fruit, and bars.
