The Ville to Ville Sprint Relay is a 3-person running relay. Teams will complete 21 miles with a start and finish at Think Tank Brew Lab in Greenville, SC. Runners will travel the Green Line section of the Swamp Rabbit Trail and enjoy a festive post-race celebration with food trucks, music, college football, and craft brews. Enjoy all the fun of Ville to Ville camaraderie in a shorter timeframe without the need for a team vehicle.

All participants will receive a super soft hoodie sweatshirt, race medal, race SWAG, and a complimentary craft beer or non-acholic drink from Think Tank Brew Lab.

Team Captain

Each team will have a team captain (we will initially use the name and contact info of the person registering) responsible for recruiting teammates and meeting appropriate deadlines. We will provide regular race information and updates for the team captain on our website and through monthly email newsletters. The Team Captain role can be transferred to another person at any point. Existing captains should email info@villetovillerelay.com and Cc the new captain if they are requesting a captain change.

Team Rosters

Once the team captain registers, they will be able to invite their teammates to join the team online. Team members will not pay any fees upon registration. Preliminary team rosters are due on September 7, 2024. Sweatshirt sizes will be guaranteed for anyone registering by the preliminary deadline. The ability to add or change team members will remain open until race day; however, changes after September 21, 2024, will carry a $25 fee.

Course Safety

We love your kids and dogs, but strollers and pets will not be allowed on the race course due to course limitations and participant safety. There is plenty of room at the start/finish area for supervised children and pets to wait for you as you run.
