The Downville Mile
Fastest Mile in the State
Run your FASTEST MILE to date
100 Feet of Elevation Drop!
Included in Registration
The Downville Mile is where you come to let gravity do a little of the talking and your legs do the rest. This is a mile built for speed, swagger, and that special kind of joy that only happens when the course tilts downhill and your brain goes, “we’re doing WHAT pace right now?” 🏃♂️💨
Included with registration, you’ll earn a finisher medal because the fastest mile deserves shiny proof, plus a custom race bib that serves as your superhero ID for the day. You’ll also score event-themed giveaways with exclusive swag hotter than your PR, and a race sticker for your bottle, laptop… or your forehead if you’re feeling bold (no judgment). 🎖️🏁🎁🔥
We’ll have chip timing with live results so your speed gets measured and celebrated instantly, and complimentary race photos to freeze-frame that moment you’re flying and pretending it feels totally normal. Then stick around for the music and post-race party with good vibes, BYOB, and a crowd of fast friends who also came to test their top gear. 🎶📸⏱️
And the main event: this is the fastest mile course in the state, featuring 100+ feet of downhill glory. PRs aren’t promised… but they’re definitely being tempted. 😄

You’ve just entered the speed force, baby.
I’m The Flash — and if there’s one race I’d never miss, it’s The Downville Mile. 🏁💨
Welcome to the fastest mile race in South Carolina — a 1-mile lightning bolt down the streets of Greenville.
🐇🍻 Whether you’re faster than a speeding bullet or just want to see what it feels like to fly, this race is for YOU.👟 The Open Mile is perfect for speedsters of every stride — your first mile, your fastest mile, your funnest mile.
