Organiser's Description

This is a Greenville Track Club Corporate Shield event.

For the 2026 race, we are working to increase the capacity that will require off-site parking with a shuttle and thus additional time from parking to arriving at the event site for bib pick up.

As the event occurs in an area restricted to the public, ALL spectators regardless of age are required to register ('SPECTATOR') with waiver at no charge.

We are offering a BMW Performance Classic Running Phone Pouch for OPTIONAL purchase. Vintage shirts available for purchase ($10 cash) during race day packet pickup while supplies last.

We have a minimum participant age requirement of 5 years old, in line with RRCA guidelines that children under this age group should only participate in "dash" events. All registered participants should be able to finish the race on their own (not in a stroller, or carried by an adult). Strollers are permitted, however should line up in the back of the field. Dogs are not permitted.
