Greenville Journal Run Downtown 5K
Greenville Journal Run Downtown 5K is a 5K road race held in Greenville, United States, in January.
The race starts on South Main Street close to the Peace Center and makes a single loop through the centre of the city. Runners pass along Main Street, wind through a handful of downtown streets including Broad, Nassau and Madison, and run beside the Reedy River. A footbridge crossing brings them back towards Main Street for the finish.
The Greenville Track Club organises the event, and timing is by chip at both the start and the finish. Walkers are welcome, and strollers can take part if they line up towards the back. Dogs are not allowed on the course. The race has been part of the local calendar since 1979, which makes it one of the longer-established 5K events in South Carolina.
