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 Payments
All teams will be required to pay a $305 deposit during their initial registration and may choose to pay the full $780 fee ($130/person). Teams that only pay the deposit must pay the remaining team fee ($475) by midnight on January 15, 2027. Teams with unpaid fees on January 16, 2027, will lose their spot in the race and their non-refundable deposit. Team rosters should be finalized by March 5, 2027.

Team Name
Be creative, but keep it classy. Your team name will appear in lots of public places, so make sure it would make your mother proud. You will submit your team name during registration, but you can change it until March 5, 2027.
Team Categories
Open Co-ed (minimum of 2 females) Open (all-male team or all males plus 1 female) Open Female (all females) Masters (all-male team or all males plus 1 female, all members 40+) Masters Female (all females, all members 40+) Masters Co-ed (minimum of 2 females, all members 40+) *Team categories will be chosen during registration, but they can be changed until race weekend. Team sizes range from 3 to 6 team members.
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 doesn’t 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.
