We will only conduct packet pickup on Friday, April 19.

* We will allow someone authorized by a registered participant to pick up a packet for them on Friday.

Our 10K will be limited to 1,500 participants and the 5K to 1000 participants. The 10K will once again have staggered "wave" starts and waves will be determined by the participant's Estimated Finishing Time. So, please enter your EFT during the registration process. The 10K will once again have commemorative Finishers medals and Age Group awards.

The 5K is our less competitive run, but may also have starting waves to help spread out the field and will not have Finisher medals or Age Group awards.

Please be advised, due to the very early start times there will NOT be race day packet pickup. You may have someone pick up your race packet for you (please provide your approval to the person picking up for you by text to their phone to be presented). 

Stick around for our awards presentation (9:15 am). Once again Jersey Mike's mini-subs will be available to all race finishers. We'll have a DJ keeping the vibes, plus face painting, a bouncy house, physical therapy and stretching options. It all takes place after the finish in the United Community parking lot adjacent to the Finish Line. 

Portable Toilets will be available in the United Community overflow parking lot located adjacent to the Finish Line. Please be advised that these are located about 5 mins away from the 10K and 5K starting lines (which are on S. Main Street). Please plan accordingly and allow enough time to get to the Start Lines well before 7:15 am for the 10K and 8:00 am for the 5K.

Parking will be limited in areas in close proximity to our Start and Finish. It is recommended to use public parking areas which can be found @ http://www.greenvillesc.gov/513/Parking. 

Arrival routes to the 10K Start are available via S. Main Street. Starting Wave corrals will be on S. Main Street with Wave A being nearest to the Start Line and working north. Runners should be in their assigned corral by 7:00 am.  Wave A starts at 7:15 am with Wave B at 7:16 . . . Portable toilets are available near the Finish Line on Falls Street. 

Arrival route to the 5K Start is similar to that of the 10K. Runners should be on S. Main Street by 7:50 am. at the intersection of S. Main and Broad Street. Portable toilets are available near the Finish Line on Falls Street. 

Our 2024 event will have a new Finish Line location. We will be finishing downhill on Falls Street and E. Camperdown just before the new United Community Corporate Headquarters building. Both the 10K and 5K will once again have the same Finish Line and feature Chip Timing. Both races will start in downtown Greenville on S. Main Street with the 10K starting in front of Carolina Ale House (just south of McBee Ave) and the 5K  in the front of the Peace Center near the intersection with Broad Street.

We offer Unisex and Women's Cut race T-shirts. However, the Women's Cut are tapered and traditionally run at least one size smaller. Please consider ordering a size larger than usual. Due to lead time issues, we ordered a specific number of Women's Cut shirts. However, we anticipate depleting that inventory. If there are no quantities of a specific size available, please chose a larger Women's size or an Men's size. Thank you for understanding.

While we love babies and pets, our race course's characteristics (some narrow paths and tight turns) do not allow for either baby joggers/strollers or pets on leashes. Thank you for your understanding. 

Bandits are strictly prohibited at Greenville Track Club events. A bandit is anyone who participates in an event without registering and without an official race number. This includes running on the race route during the event times (7:20 am until 10:00 am). This is not only a safety issue, as race officials are unable to identify bandits in the case of an emergency, but also a drain on event resources. If caught, bandits will be requested to leave the race course and event area immediately. It may also impact the bandit's eligibility to participate in future Greenville Track Club events and program. Thank you for your consideration and understanding.
