    The 2026 Ville to Ville Craft Brew Relay is Sold Out. Interested participants should join our email list for info on future races or check out the Ville to Ville Coastal Relay or the Ville to Ville Sprint Relay.

    Looking to join a team? Check out our online Google form, where you can connect with teams looking for runners.

    The Ville to Ville Relay celebrates the beautiful region from Asheville, NC, to Greenville, SC. It is a 72-mile team-running event that travels from the peaks to the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, through local craft breweries, and into quaint southern towns.

    The 9th Annual event will be held on April 11, 2026. The first flight of teams will start the relay around 5:00 am in Asheville, NC. Over the next few hours, additional teams will depart on their journey through the Carolinas. Each team will consist of three to six runners who will split 12 legs, ranging from 3 to 9 miles. Each team will provide its own race vehicle to drop off and pick up runners at designated transition areas along the course route. Ville to Ville teams will arrive at Hampton Station in Greenville, SC between 3:00-8:00 pm for a finish line celebration, including music, food, and craft brews.

    Team Payments

    All teams will be required to pay a $300 deposit during their initial registration and may choose to pay the full $775 fee. Teams that only pay the deposit must pay the remaining team fee ($475) by midnight on January 15, 2026. Teams with unpaid fees on January 16, 2026, will lose their spot in the race and their non-refundable deposit. Team rosters should be finalized by March 5, 2026. There is a 5.5% processing fee on all online payments.

    Race Theme - Saturday Morning Cartoons

    Get ready to throw it back—this year’s relay theme is Saturday Morning Cartoons! Think Scooby-Doo, Rugrats, Ninja Turtles, or whatever you couldn’t wait to watch in your pajamas. Dress up, decorate those vans, and let’s bring our favorite cartoons to life out on the course!

    Packet Pickup & Welcome Receptions

    Thursday, April 9, 2026 – Southernside Brewing Company, 25 Delano Dr, Greenville, SC. 4-7 pm.

    Friday, April 10, 2026 - Asheville Sports Club, 137 Coxe Ave, Asheville, NC. 4-7 pm.

    Saturday, April 11, 2026 - Starting Line

    *Only captains or a team representative are required to attend the packet pickup event, but all participants are welcome to attend.

    Age Requirements

    All runners must be 21 or older to participate in the Ville to Ville Craft Brew Relay.

    Team Name

    Be creative, but keep it classy. Your team name will appear in lots of public places, so make sure it would make your mother proud. You will submit your team name during registration, but you can change it until March 5, 2026.

    Team Categories

    Open Co-ed (minimum of 2 females)

    Open (all-male team or all males plus 1 female)

    Open Female (all females)

    Masters (all-male team or all males plus 1 female, all members 40+)

    Masters Female (all females, all members 40+)

    Masters Co-ed (minimum of 2 females, all members 40+)

    *Team categories will be chosen during registration, but they can be changed until race weekend. Team sizes range from 3 to 6 team members.

    Team Captain

    Each team will have a team captain (we will initially use the name and contact info of the person registering). We will provide regular race information and updates for the team captain on our Captain Resources page and through monthly email newsletters. Team Captains can be transferred to another person at any time. Existing captains should email info@villetovillerelay.com and Cc the new captain if they request a captain change.

    Team Pace

    To make it to the post-race party in one day, the team must maintain a pace of 11:00 minutes per mile or less. This doesn’t mean everyone on the team has to run at this pace, but it does mean that if you have slower team members, you will need faster ones to keep your team on track.

    You will estimate a team pace when you register your team with an average min/mile pace for all runners on the entire course. For a 6-person team, each runner will run twice between 3-9 miles, so a 10K time average would be expected. Final team pace estimates will be due on March 5, 2026. Visit our team resources page to see our pace calculator to help with your estimation.

    Cancellation & Weather

    This is a rain-or-shine event. The race director has the right to change the course or the event in the event of inclement weather or state restrictions.
