Event Description
The Ville to Ville Craft Brew Relay celebrates the beautiful region from Asheville, NC to Greenville, SC. It is a 75-mile team running event traveling from the peaks to the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, through local craft breweries, and into quaint southern towns.
The Ville to Ville Craft Brew Relay will be held April 18, 2020. The first flight of 6-member teams will start the relay around 5:00 am. 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 3-9 miles (ultra teams will consist of three runners). Each team will provide their own race vehicle to drop off and pick up runners at designated transition areas along the course route.
