Event Description
The Back 9
3-6-12-24 Hour Race
The Old Millstone Golfcourse - September 19th 2020
The race series is proud to establish a scenic 1.5 Mile Loop (ALL ON CART PATH) around the Old Millstone Golf course on the west side of Greenville. NEW course, NEW location, with proceeds going to a NEW conservation effort at an old closed down golf course! Trees, rivers, ponds, beavers! No chance of a birdie on this course!
The Ethos Project has recently purchased this 200 acre plot of land and placed it under a permanent protection conservation easement. A conservation easement is set of restrictions placed on a designated piece of land that prevents development or other substantial change in perpetuity. It is voluntary and unchangeable, and is designed to preserve and protect the property’s natural state.

Packet Pickup
Packet Pickup will be held at the race site location starting 1 hour before the start of the race. Here you can pick up your bib, and other add on items purchased through registration. We will have a brief pre-race meeting 15 minutes prior to discuss pertinent event details and any last minute changes that need to be addressed.
Bib # Lookup & Timing Chip
Please locate the BIB # Sheet that will be organized by distance & alphabetical order. Find your name that corresponds with your assigned Bib # and give that number to our volunteers at packet pickup and please verify with the label on the BIB that your name and age is correct and pick up the corresponding chip tag with your bib number. Please make sure the timing chip is labeled with the same number as your race bib. Please make sure the timing chip is secured to your running top or bottom hanging freely and is not covered by any other clothing item. Please make sure that your bib is on the front and is visible when you cross the finish line. Please make sure to return your timing chip and BibBoard in the correct storage bin located at the finish line prior to getting your finish medal. Participants who lose or forget to return their timing chip will be asked to mail it in or pay $5 to have the reusable chip replaced.
Aid Station
There will be 1 aid station on the course at the start/finish of the 1.5 Mile course. This is a cup less event. Each aid station will have tailwind, soda, water, cookies, salt, chips, and crackers.
