The Ville to Ville Sprint Relay invites runners to experience the renowned camaraderie of the Ville to Ville series in a dynamic team format on September 26, 2026, in scenic Travelers Rest, SC. This 21-mile, 3-person relay challenges teams to conquer six progressively shorter out-and-back legs along the picturesque Swamp Rabbit Trail, starting and finishing conveniently at Trailblazer Park. With typical race day conditions boasting highs around 82°F and lows near 63°F, and only a 10% chance of rain, runners can anticipate pleasant early autumn weather for their efforts.

What sets this relay apart is its unique setup: each of the six legs (ranging from 6 miles down to 1 mile) begins and ends at Trailblazer Park, eliminating the need for a team support vehicle. Runners simply hand off a timing chip to their next teammate, fostering a vibrant, centralized team atmosphere. The course itself offers a generally flat to gently rolling paved surface along the beloved Swamp Rabbit Trail, providing scenic views and a smooth running experience. Hydration support will be available on the course, with two water stops for longer legs and one for shorter segments, alongside clear directional signage and volunteer assistance.

The Ville to Ville Sprint Relay culminates in a festive post-race celebration right at Trailblazer Park, featuring music, local food trucks, and craft brews—perfect for cheering on fellow teams and celebrating a successful "fall Saturday in the South." This event is ideal for teams seeking a fun, community-focused running challenge without the logistical complexities of traditional point-to-point relays, all while enjoying the charm of Travelers Rest.
