Short review

Lake Conestee 50k & 8k Lake Conestee Nature Park Greenville, Sc - June 5th 2021   Upstate Ultra is presenting its 1st Annual Lake Conestee 50k that will be held at a Lake Conestee Nature Park in Greenville South Carolina. These particular events will be held on a 5 mile loop that wraps around the entire trail system within the nature loops. Lake Conestee Nature Preserve, formerly Lake Conestee Nature Park, opened in 2006, is a 400-acre preserve along three miles of the Reedy River in Conestee, South Carolina, with 13 miles of trails, more than 6 miles of them paved and 1 mile of boardwalk. I encourage you to grab a friend and come out and view what the beautiful park and Greenville County has to offer!
