The 2018 edition of the Greenville Track Club Summer All Comers Track Meets will begin on Tuesday, June 5. The location for the meets during the month of June is Eastside High Schoo. Registration begins at 5:45, and warmup jog (10-mins) at 6:15, followed by the racing schedule. The meets include various distances from 100 meters to two-miles. No official results will be provided. Participants are encourage to time themselves, although a running clock is provided at the finish line.  

The Freedom Flyer 5K presented by Greenville Track Club takes place on Memorial Day, May 28, 2018. Last year's 2-mile course has now been expanded to a 5K. The new 5K course is flatter than the old 2-mile course - only 50' of total elevation gain. This year we've added patriotic music stations and a gauntlet of American flags along the course. The race finishes at midfield on the Kroc Center soccer field. The early entry fee has been kept UNDER $10 to boost attendance and make the event affordable for everyone, especially families!

Thank you for your service! ALL ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY PERSONNEL, POLICE, FIRE, AND FIRST RESPONDERS ARE ADMITTED FREE! Just send an email to Kerrie, using the contact page. Include your full name, military branch and rank. If you are non-military, provide details on your job description and employer.

It was one of those perfect running mornings in beautiful Greenville, South Carolina for the 41st running of the TD Bank Reedy River Run on Saturday, April 21. Both the 5K and 10K races were "sold out" as registrations reached their 1500 and 1600 runner limits on Thursday before the race. The race was once again sponsored by TD Bank, presented by the Greenville News and produced by the 46-year-old Greenville Track Club in conjunction with multiple partners. 

Using a revised course which exchanged the notorious climb up Falls Drive and Broad Street for another long climb up Furman College Way in Falls Park, the runners were definitely challenged. The men's lead pack separated on the long downhill on E. Washington Street heading down to the entrance to Cleveland Park. Zimbabwe Olympian Pardon Ndhlovu broke away from Greenville's Austin Steagall and Ricky Flynn and opened a small gap that he would not relinquish. He maintained his lead up the Furman College Way hill and down Augusta and S. Main Streets before breaking the finish tape with a time of 30:43. He was closely followed by Steagall, the 2017 race winner, and Flynn with times of 30:51 and 30:53, respectively. 

Greenville's Ester Atkins easily won the women's division with a time of 35:27. Ester was the 2014 USATF Marathon Champion and is a 3-time USA Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier. She was followed by Asheville, NC's Ginna Reid (36:54), who also won the women's Masters (40-0ver) title. Easley, SC's OG Gardner placed third and was a mere one-second behind Reid.

The April Greenville Track Club monthly meeting will be conducted on Monday, April 2 at

Our speaker will be Alex Volfson, who is a Physical Therapist specializing in running related injuries for Bon Secours St. Francis.

Come out and join us for some good food, fun, fellowship and information to help your running. 

In 2017 for our 40th edition of the TD Bank Reedy River Run 10K, we awarded finishers medals to commemorate the milestone anniversary. The medals were such a hit, that we decided that medal would be the first in a series of "collectables" for Greenville's iconic running event. 

While that first medal depicted our famous Liberty Bridge, which spans Greenville's Reedy River, our second edition medal highlights the Falls on the Reedy in our beautiful downtown. 

Don't miss out on adding the 2018 version to your running keepsakes. If you are not one of the over-one-thousand current registrants, don't delay and sign up soon @ www.tdbankreedyriverrun.com. Due to selling out the 10K in 2017, we have expanded the limit from 1500 to 1600 this year.

​See you on April 21. ​
