Mountains to Mainstreet Half Marathon & 5K

The 11th annual Mountains to Mainstreet Half Marathon & 5K takes runners on a point-to-point journey from the quiet small-town charm of Travelers Rest, South Carolina, to the heart of downtown Greenville. The course follows the paved Swamp Rabbit Trail, a tree-lined greenway that offers a flat, fast surface ideal for personal bests. As you approach the finish, the energy builds with the TD Stage in sight, surrounded by the vibrant cityscape.

With a recent field of about 2,700 finishers hailing from roughly 30 states, the race draws a diverse crowd. The 15% repeat-runner rate speaks to its growing reputation. The half marathon’s 4-hour cutoff makes it accessible to first-timers, while the consistently fast times attract experienced racers. Runners receive a commemorative T-shirt and finish on a festive stage, celebrating their achievement in downtown Greenville.

The atmosphere is both community-driven and celebratory, with the Swamp Rabbit Trail offering a scenic, shaded route. Whether you’re chasing a PR or simply soaking in the scenery from the Blue Ridge foothills to the city streets, this race delivers a memorable experience.
