The RC & MoonPie Presidential Downhill Mile returns as a fast\, fun\, and uniquely Southern tradition… a one mile downhill with a sweet (and slightly chaotic) twist. Participants will gather on the sidewalk outside the President’s House\, where they’ll be sent off by a very special guest. At the start line\, runners will eat their first MoonPie before getting sent down Highway 93 by the iconic Death Valley Cannon. At the halfway mark near Sikes Hall\, they’ll tackle another MoonPie and an ice-cold cola before making their final push to the finish line. The reward? One last cola\, or a celebratory beer for runners 21 and over\, waiting at the Esso Club. The race honors former Clemson President R.C. Edwards and his wife\, Louise “MoonPie” Edwards. Their legacy lives on through one of Clemson’s most beloved and joyfully unconventional traditions. After last year’s comeback\, we’re doing it again – louder\, faster\, and even more fun. Join us as we continue the tradition\, celebrate Clemson spirit\, and honor the leaders who helped shape our university. Who Was R.C. Edwards? Robert Cook “R.C.” Edwards was Clemson’s 8th president\, serving from 1958 to 1979\, a period of immense growth and change. His leadership helped shape Clemson into the modern university it is today. A President of Transformation When Edwards took office in 1958\, Clemson was still a small\, military-focused college with limited academic offerings. Under his leadership\, the institution underwent a dramatic evolution: Transition to a Civilian University – Edwards oversaw Clemson’s transformation from a military college into a coeducational\, civilian university in the 1960s\, a pivotal moment in its history. Desegregation & Integration – He led the university through the peaceful integration of African American students\, including Harvey Gantt in 1963\, a landmark achievement in Clemson’s history. Campus Growth & Expansion – During his presidency\, Clemson’s enrollment more than doubled\, and major academic programs and research initiatives were established. Athletic & Institutional Development – Edwards played a key role in strengthening Clemson’s reputation in both academics and athletics\, laying the foundation for future successes. His leadership style was visionary\, pragmatic\, and deeply student-focused. He believed in Clemson’s potential and worked tirelessly to ensure it thrived. Today\, Clemson’s R.C. Edwards Hall stands as a testament to his contributions to education and innovation. Who Was “Moonpie” Edwards? Louise Odom Edwards\, affectionately known as “Moonpie\,” was the heart of Clemson’s campus during her husband’s presidency. She was admired for her warmth\, generosity\, and unwavering support for Clemson students. Whether she was hosting events\, offering words of encouragement\, or advocating for student initiatives\, she became a beloved figure in the Clemson family. Her nickname\, “Moonpie\,” given to her by RC\, came from her sweet and caring nature\, much like the classic Southern treat. It was this endearing personality and connection with the student body that made her a perfect namesake for the race alongside her husband.
