The Downville Mile

⚡️ ZOOM!

You’ve just entered the speed force, baby.

I’m The Flash — and if there’s one race I’d never miss, it’s The Downville Mile. 🏁💨

Welcome to the fastest mile race in South Carolina — a 1-mile lightning bolt down the streets of Greenville.

🐶🍻 Whether you’re faster than a speeding bullet or just want to see what it feels like to fly, this race is for YOU.

• Open Mile: Perfect for speedsters of every stride — your first mile, your fastest mile, your funnest mile.
