RC and Moonpie Downhill Mile

Gear up for an exhilarating blast from the past as the iconic RC & MoonPie Presidential Downhill Mile returns to Clemson! Imagine the thrill as you line up at 10:00 A.M. on the sidewalk in front of the President’s House, ready to take on the legendary downhill sprint. But wait, there's more - you'll fuel up with scrumptious MoonPies and Southern-style Cola at the start and mid-race, injecting a dose of fun into every stride!

Race to honor the legacy of former President R.C. Edwards and his wife, Louise “Moonpie” Edwards, and cross the finish line at the Esso Club for your well-deserved Cola or celebratory beer (for the 21+ crowd). Not only will you be part of reviving a cherished tradition, but your participation also supports the Clemson University Greatest Needs Fund - making each step you take a stride for a bright, community-focused future. Join the adventure, celebrate with us, and make history as we run, snack, and cheer our way downhill!
