About
GTC Paris Mountain Trails 16K takes place in Greenville, South Carolina, on November 7, 2026. The single event is a 16K (9.9 miles) trail run on Paris Mountain, starting at 8 a.m., and it doubles as the USATF-SC mountain, ultra and trail championship.
A championship trail race at close to ten miles is a serious morning. Mountain terrain means your pace will bear little relation to road splits, so run by effort, hike the steepest sections without guilt and stay alert on descents where fatigue makes footing sloppy. Prepare with 10 to 12 weeks of trail-specific work: a weekly long run of 8 to 10 miles on similar ground, plus regular climbing. Carry your own fluid if you are used to it, and wear shoes you have already run technical trails in.
