The Ville to Ville Relay starts at 5:00 AM, so plan your arrival in Asheville the night before to handle early logistics and let your relay team coordinate. The race covers 72.56 miles and launches from 2 Rocket Drive in Asheville, North Carolina. Entry fees range from free to $305.00 depending on your team configuration. This relay format works well for endurance runners looking to cover substantial distance while distributing effort across teammates. Confirm exact team size requirements and leg assignments with the race organizers when registering, as relay splits can vary. Asheville's elevation and mountain terrain may affect pacing, so scout the course route in advance if possible and arrive early enough to walk sections of your assigned leg.

Team Captains can be transferred to another person at any time. Existing captains should email info@villetovillerelay.com and Cc the new captain if they request a change of captain. Team Pace To make it to the post-race party in one day, the team must maintain a pace of 11:00 minutes per mile or less. This doesn’t mean everyone on the team has to run at this pace, but it does mean that if you have slower team members, you will need faster ones to keep your team on track. Each team member will estimate their 10K pace when they join the team. These and past team performances will be used to determine your team's pace. Cancellation & Weather This is a rain-or-shine event. The race director has the right to change the course or the event due to inclement weather, road closures, or state restrictions.
