If you’re not sure how to cover them all, not to fret. Enter: Margarita Mile. And while we don’t recommend drinking during most marathons, this is a marathon of its own caliber – featuring a 1.2-mile long trail through downtown Columbia with 5 margarita stops along the way. Don’t worry, running isn’t required.
