Registration Re-Opens on May 1.

We are excited to announce that registration will re-open on May 1, 2021 for the United Community Bank 43rd Reedy River Run.  After not conducting the event during 2020 due to COVID-19, the 2021 event was rescheduled for Labor Day, September 6. 

With a little more than four months to go until our 2021 race, we are announcing several planned changes that address ongoing public health and safety concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The changes are designed to put the event in compliance with all current and existing Health guidelines. 

“We’re announcing this now because we’re a little more than four months out and we believe our current and future registrants and the community deserve to know where we stand on some of the bigger planning items,” explained race director Mike Caldwell of the Greenville Track Club.  “We’re working with the appropriate state and city agencies, and even as we know conditions can always change at any time, we’re confident that this year's version of our historic event can happen successfully and as safely as possible on Labor Day.”

Some of the more significant expected changes to the 2021 United Community Bank Reedy River Run are: 

• Reduced Field Sizes – Limiting the 10K to 1,000 and the 5K to 750. 
• Operational Changes –
  • Rolling Start with Waves of approximately 100 runners each, starting every minute
  •  Social/Physical Distancing protocols
  • Face masks before and after the actual race
  • Sealed water bottles
  • Awards determined by Chip Time versus Net Time (except for the designated elite athletes)
  • Awards will not be presented following the race, but will be available at Fleet Feet after the results have been audited and deemed official
• Modified Ancillary Events –
  • Packet Pickup, including race shirts and bib numbers, will be conducted outside at United Community Bank on Saturday and Sunday
  • No post-race festival this year
  • Jersey Mike's Subs distributed after finish (at end of finish chute)
• Viewing Modifications – Large Gatherings Discouraged

Our plans are fluid and flexible and may change to meet the current state of health & safety precautions that may be recommended at the time of the event. 

​We currently have approximately 250 spots remaining in the 10K and about 350 in the 5K. Registration opens May 1, 2021. More information is available @ ucbireedyriverrun.com.
