The Ville to Ville Relay celebrates the beautiful region from Asheville, NC, to Greenville, SC. It is a 72-mile team-running event that travels from the peaks to the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, through local craft breweries, and into quaint southern towns.

The 10th Annual event will be held on April 10, 2027. The first flight of teams will start the relay around 5:00 am in Asheville, NC. Over the next few hours, additional teams will depart on their journey through the Carolinas. Each team will consist of three to six runners who will split 12 legs, ranging from 3 to 9 miles. Each team will provide its own race vehicle to drop off and pick up runners at designated transition areas along the course route. Ville to Ville teams will arrive at Hampton Station in Greenville, SC between 3:00-8:00 pm for a finish line celebration, including music, food, and craft brews.

TEAM CAPTAIN

Each team will have a team captain (we will initially use the name and contact info of the person registering). We will provide regular race information and updates for the team captain on our Captain Resources page and through monthly email newsletters. Team Captains can be transferred to another person at any time. Existing captains should email info@villetovillerelay.com and Cc the new captain if they request a change of captain.

TEAM PACE

To make it to the post-race party in one day, the team must maintain a pace of 11:00 minutes per mile or less. This doesnt mean everyone on the team has to run at this pace, but it does mean that if you have slower team members, you will need faster ones to keep your team on track.

Each team member will estimate their 10K pace when they join the team. These and past team performances will be used to determine your team's pace.

CANCELLATION & WEATHER

This is a rain-or-shine event. The race director has the right to change the course or the event due to inclement weather, road closures, or state restrictions.
