The Experience

General Race Information The Paris Mountain Road Race 10k is a hilly run around the base of Paris Mountain starting and finishing at Redeemer Presbyterian Church at 6150 Old Buncombe Rd., Greenville, SC.  The total elevation gain over the 10K distance is roughly 1500 feet. With over 2500 vertical feet of elevation gain, 89 curves, and some hills at 15% grade, the Paris Mountain Road Race 20k lives up to its billing as the TOUGHEST RACE IN THE SOUTH. The race starts at Redeemer Presbyterian Church, ascends the north side of Paris Mountain, descends on the south side, and uses the hilly back roads at the base of the mountain to return.  Sorry, but strollers and dogs are not permitted in the Paris Mountain Road Races.
