Kings Mountain Marathon - Clover, South Carolina - Running

The Kings Mountain Marathon is a Running race in Clover, South Carolina consisting of a Half Marathon and Marathon.

And to this day, the battle's spirit lives on in the inhabitants of York County, South Carolina. Folks here carry a certain dignity because of their home's unique place in history. And why shouldn't they?

It's beautiful and rugged land they live on.
