Picture this: You and a group of five friends decide to run 72 miles from Asheville to Greenville, all in one day. No, it’s not an episode of your favorite sitcom — it’s the Ville to Ville Craft Brew Relay.
The beloved race that celebrates our region’s craft brewing scene while raising money for local charities returns for its eighth year on Saturday, April 12.
The race has gained a lot of momentum over the years — selling out in just eight hours. This year marks the largest group of participants yet, with 2,300 runners across 380 teams, representing 34 different states and Puerto Rico.
Runners will start at AC Reynolds Middle School in East Asheville, making stops in Fletcher, Hendersonville, East Flat Rock, and Travelers Rest before crossing the finish line at Hampton Station in Greenville.
Think you and your friends have what it takes? Registration for next year’s relay opens on Sunday, April 13.
