The Downville Mile
The Downville Mile is a one-mile, point-to-point running race held on May 29, 2027 in Greenville, South Carolina. The course runs from Whitlee Court to the Confluence Center, with more than 100 feet of downhill elevation between start and finish. The route is nontechnical and intended to be run at race pace.
Waves are seeded into three groups, including an elite wave that runs last, so participants compete with others near their pace. Parking is provided at the Confluence Center at the finish; participants walk or run from the finish area up to the start as part of their warm-up. There is a 20-minute cutoff to complete the mile.
Race services include chip timing with live results, a custom race bib, a finisher medal, race-branded giveaways, a custom race tattoo, and complimentary professional photos posted after the event. There are no water stations on course; water and three portable toilets are available at the finish. A beer vendor will be on site at the finish offering drinks for finishers.
Awards are given to the top three overall men and women and to the first three finishers in each of 15 age-group categories. The event is part of the Upstate Road Series, Upstate Brew Series, and Upstate Youth Series and supports the Clemson Sunrise Rotary. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
