A one-day team running event covering ~72 scenic miles from Asheville, NC to Greenville, SC, focused on craft beer, community, and camaraderie.

Teams of 3 to 6 runners will complete 12 different legs on the race course. The legs have a specific starting and ending point and can range from 3.5 to 9 miles. 

Each team will have a designated captain who will register and pay for all team fees. 

The team captain will handle registration, communication with race directors, update team pace and name, and invite teammates to join the team online. 

Yes, all runners must be 21 years old or older on race day. 

March 5, 2026 - Team pace and team name due. Preliminary roster due.

March 26, 2026 - Team roster due to guarantee t-shirt size.

Teammates can join the team until race day, but changes after April 6, 2026 will carry a $25 fee. 

Teams will be assigned a starting time approximately 3 weeks prior to race day. Starting times will be between 5:00 am and 9:00 am. 

Starting times are determined using each runner's 10K pace estimate, the captain's team pace estimate, and the number of teams arriving/departing each transition area. Teams do not start based on pace only. 

If teams are too fast, then they will have to hold at a transition area for 30-45 minutes. If teams are too slow, then they may be asked to skip a leg or have a runner start a leg prior to the incoming runner arriving at the transition. 

Each team is allowed to have one team vehicle on race day. The team vehicle will drive from transition to transition and wait for the arrival of their teammate. We recommend teams use vans, mini-vans, or large SUV's. RVs, mini-buses, trailers, and limos are not allowed on the race course due to restrictions at some of the parking areas. 

Yes, each team needs at least two sets of reflective vests, headlamps, and blinking LED lights. These must be worn before 7:30 am or after 7:00 pm, or during low visibility.  Additionally, runners must carry water if the temperature/humidity reaches a high risk level. We recommend that each runner have their own hydration pack to wear on race day. 

No. Most of the race course is on open roads. For runner safety, headphones and earbuds are prohibited. 

Each team should have an average team pace of 11:30 minutes per mile or less to complete the course in time. 

Each runner will get a Ville to Ville race shirt, commemorative beer glass, SWAG, and a commemorative medal.
