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.

The Downville Mile is where you come to let gravity do a little of the talking and your legs do the rest. This is a mile built for speed, swagger, and that special kind of joy that only happens when the course tilts downhill and your brain goes, "we're doing WHAT pace right now?"

Whether you're faster than a speeding bullet or just want to see what it feels like to fly, this race is for YOU. The Open Mile is perfect for speedsters of every stride — your first mile, your fastest mile, your funnest mile.

Expect high-voltage energy, cheering crowds, and a brewery finish line that’s literally the best place to catch your breath — Haulin Hops will be on site pouring cold ones for every finisher. Stick around for awards, music, and stories of the one time you almost outran your own shadow.
