The Ville to Ville Coastal Relay celebrates the South Carolina Lowcountry, spanning roughly 68 miles from Summerville to Mount Pleasant. Teams will wind through historic Charleston, barrier islands, and marshland before finishing with a scenic view of the Cooper River. The course will take place on open roads and will primarily utilize existing sidewalks and greenways. Because portions of the route travel through urban areas, runners should expect stops for traffic signals, stop signs, railroad crossings, and possibly bridge delays. There will be no road closures.

How to Split the Legs

• Teams are not required to run in any specific order; however, we recommend running in order. Runner #1 would run legs 1 & 7, Runner #2 would run legs 2 & 8, and so on.
• Another option to more evenly split the miles among six runners while still allowing ample breaks between each run.
  • Runner 1 = Legs 1 & 7 = 10.4 total miles
  • Runner 2 = Legs 2 & 8 - 12.4 total miles
  • Runner 3 = Legs 3 & 12 = 11.1 total miles
  • Runner 4 = Legs 4 & 10 = 10.5 total miles
  • Runner 5 = Legs 5 & 9 = 11.9 total miles
  • Runner 6 = Legs 6 & 11 = 11.5 total miles
• Teams with fewer than six runners can have runners complete consecutive legs.
