The Experience

The Green Valley Road Race returns for its 50th running, a milestone that speaks to the event’s staying power. Starting from Trailblazer Park in Travelers Rest, SC, the half-marathon course follows a “big 10 mile hilly loop” through the rolling hills of the upstate. The Greenville Track Club promises a course that is “well marked and accurately measured,” with plenty of aid and a top-notch venue featuring real bathrooms and a covered pavilion.

The hills are the story here—a steady, demanding climb that gives this half-marathon its character. But the reward is the finish: premium awards that are “way cool,” plus door prizes and a community atmosphere. After crossing the line, runners can refuel at local favorites like Tandem, Farmhouse Tacos, or Sidewall Pizza. With a fifth decade under its belt, this is a race that knows how to welcome back its runners.

Race-provided description

Welcome to the 50th running of the Green Valley Road Race!  Our host venue will be Trailblazer Park in Travelers Rest, SC. We have 2 options for you.  We will have a revised 10 Mile course to get to slightly less traffic roads. It will still be a big 10 mile hilly loop.  New for 2027, to honor the 50th running of the Green Valley Road Races, we will have the RETURN OF THE 5 MILE!  The 5 Mile will be point to point and optional transportation to the start line will be provided as part of your registration fee.  Course maps and more info will be provided at a later date. As always with Greenville Track Club events, you can expect our courses will be well marked and accurately measured.  Our venue is top notch with bathrooms with plumbing and a pavilion for a bit of shelter. Our awards will be premium and way cool.  And I suspect there will be a door prize or two. After the race, enjoy a meal at one of TR's excellent restaurants like Tandem, Farmhouse Tacos, or Sidewall Pizza. The 10 mile will start at 8:00.…
