Join us on the Easley-Pickens Doodle Trail for a fun fall race series! The start and finish line will be in the amphitheater of Southern Weaving.
Named after the historic shortline railroad that ran from Pickens to Easley, we'll have our inaugural Doodle Bug 5k! Looking for a longer railway? Sign up for the Doodle Trail Half Marathon. After these two events, the kiddos will venture out and back for the Little Engine that Could 1 Mile Fun Run! Bring the whole family, and join us afterwards at Southern Weaving for a day full of fun for everyone. There will be bounce house, face paint, and more! The day will start with the race series and go right into a Fall Vendor Market, full of local vendors from the Upstate.
