Greenville Half Marathon & 5K

Greenville Half Marathon & 5K is held in Greenville, South Carolina on February 27, 2027, with both races starting at 7:30 a.m. The half marathon (13.1 miles) is a downhill course that begins in Travelers Rest and finishes at the TD Stage in downtown Greenville. The 5K starts from the Swamp Rabbit Cafe and shares the same TD Stage finish, so everyone converges on one spot at the end. The atmosphere is welcoming and the event is set up for runners of all levels.

A net-downhill point-to-point is a good place to go after a half marathon personal best, provided you have trained your legs for descending rather than only for distance. Add some downhill running to your long runs in the final six weeks so the last few miles do not turn into damage control. If you are newer to racing, the 5K gives you the same finish-line moment on a fraction of the training load.
