The holiday season is here and Eggplant Events is busy planning for a great race calendar for 2017! We are very thankful for your support of our races in 2016 and the positive impact that has been made with our charities who benefit from our events.  We look forward to continued growth in 2017 and have lots of great news to share!

Our Get To The Green Race will be on Saturday, March 18th, 2017.  This is the 15th Anniversary of this great event and to celebrate we are adding a NEW distance, a 15K!  So this year  the race will offer a 5k, 10k and the NEW 15k.  Also, the Get to the Green 5k has been selected as the 2017 RRCA State Championship Race!  This will bring even more competitive runners to our 5k.  We can’t wait to see who the awards go to this year! For registration go to www.gettothegreen.com.

Next on our calendar will be the kick off to our National Vulcan Quarry Crusher Run  Series, the Columbia Quarry Crusher Run on March 25, 2017!  This is the first race of the series and we are working to make it our biggest and best ever.  Runners and walkers will “Get to the Bottom of It”  as they go to the bottom of the quarry and run back to the top. Of course, we will still offer the DOUBLE CRUSHER for those who want to do the course twice.    Check out our Quarry Crusher Run website for more exciting news on our national series and the other cool locations!  We hope that you will try more than one!  www.quarrycrusherrun.com

The Palmetto Half Marathon is celebrating it’s 8th year of giving back to our community on April 8 & 9, 2017!  We are proud that the race proceeds go directly to local charities in our area making it  a race that truly has a deeper impact.  The race will feature a Kids Fun Run, a Youth Half Marathon, a 5k and the Half Marathon.  To get the  most support for our charities, we are offering a great discount for Half Marathon and the 5k!  HALF OFF THE HALF!  Use code: HALF  and save 50% off the cost of the 5k and the Half Marathon registration price until January 1, 2017!  You can register and get event information at www.palmettohalfmarathon.com.  Please SHARE this discount with your friends.  The more who register, the more we benefit our community!

Fall is one of our favorite times of the year! A time to reflect on the year and be THANKFUL! We are so thankful for our clients and the great working relationships we have. One BIG Thank You goes to Vulcan Materials Company. In 2016 we worked closely with VMC to produce the Vulcan Quarry Crusher Run Series! This event which started in Columbia, SC, expanded to four events in 2016 and we have six events scheduled for 2017! This would not be possible without the great staff at each of the Vulcan Materials Quarries! We are always so welcomed and just in awe of their excitement to open their “work homes” for participants to enjoy! YES, participants truly ENJOY the CHALLENGE and the scenery is a BONUS!

Join us in 2017 at one of these great events! Vulcan Quarry Crusher Run will be held in Columbia, SC, Birmingham, AL, Atlanta, GA, San Antonio, TX, Havre de Grace, MD, and San Diego, CA!

WRONG! Summer is when we get busy planning for 2017! That is right! Time to think about what will be on the 2017 calendar. We are working to secure new locations for the Quarry Crusher Run. With three successful spring races and one more coming up, we couldn’t be more excited to see what 2017 brings for the Series! Excited to be visiting new Vulcan Materials Quarries and seeing these beautiful landscapes. Haven’t run this event yet? You are missing out! Check it out at www.QuarryCrusherRun.com

Yes, it is fall already! And when we think about fall, we think about FOOTBALL! We are excited about a new event this year with Coach Frye and the Frye Foundation. Whether you bleed Garnet or Orange you won’t want to miss this new event! SC Rivalry Run will be a new family tradition! Show your support for your favorite team! Who will be on top? Team Orange or Team Garnet!

Whew! What a Spring! Thank you to all of you who participated in one or ALL of our Spring Events! Get to the Green was a little wet this year but we still had fun despite the rain!

Quarry Crusher Run set new records and we are excited about the future of this event, stay tuned as we have BIG news coming up! And for those of you who loved the medals for Winners – in 2016 we will have BLING for all Finishers!

And who loved the ROCK Band in the bottom of the pit?

Another great year at CrawDaddy Dash on May 2! Shirts were great this year and we had lots of compliments! Great shirts, great awards and waffles for everyone! What more can you ask for?? Oh and don’t forget all the fun you guys had at the Crawfish Festival!
