The Greenville Downtown 10K follows the same course as the Run Town USA Half Marathon, except we sliced off 6 of the hardest miles of the HM resulting in a 10K course with fewer turns and hills and surprisingly fast. If you're a 10Ker, this race is the perfect choice! Note: the course map is subject to change based on requirements of local officials.
Swamp Rabbit Marathon, Sat. 10/31 (limit 100)
The CERTIFIED VIRTUAL Swamp Rabbit Marathon uses an out and back course very similar to the course we've used for the past several years. The race starts on the Swamp Rabbit Trail (SRT) near the Kroc Center. Runners will go north on the trail, turn around in Travelers Rest, and return to Greenville. They will overshoot the starting point and go south on the SRT to Cleveland Park. After doing a loop around the park, runners will proceed south on the Hincapie section of the SRT and loop around Greenville First Baptist Church before going north and returning to the starting point at the Kroc. The finish line is located on the SRT, several hundred yards north of the start line.
