Course & Travel Notes

The Dog Daze 5K in Columbia, South Carolina starts at 8:00 AM on February 6th, 2027, which means you'll be racing just after sunrise at 7:17 AM—perfect timing for those early-bird runners! The venue sits at a modest 253 feet elevation, so you won't need to worry too much about altitude adjustments. Getting there is super convenient since Jim Hamilton L.B. Owens Airport is only 2 miles from the race location. Expect typical February weather with highs around 61°F and lows around 40°F, though there's about a one-in-three chance of rain that day, so pack layers and maybe a light jacket just in case.
