Organizers of Charlotte's Meck Mile posted Instagram posts welcoming Greenville Track Club-ELITE's Davonte Jett-Reynolds and Ryan Drew back to the Pro Division of the second edition of this race. Davonte placed 4th in 2024, while Ryan finished 8th.

The Meck Mile, presented by Albemarle, brings people together from all across Charlotte to run, walk, skip or dance their way through the streets surrounding Memorial Stadium. The race gives participants and spectators alike the chance to hit the streets and see the city from an entirely new perspective. The Pro Division race offers $20,000 in prize money. 

Greenville Track Club-ELITE was established in 2012 and is well into its second decade as a post-collegiate, Olympic-development program. The program developed and produced one participant for the 2024 Olympic Games marathon in Paris; four qualifiers for the 2016 USA Olympic Trials Marathon in Los Angeles; one qualifier/participant for the 2019 Pam American Games Marathon in Lima, Peru; three qualifiers/two participants for the 2020 USA Olympic Trials Marathon in Atlanta, GA; one qualifier and participant in the 2021 USATF Olympic Track & Field Trials in the 3000m Steeplechase in Eugene, OR; and three qualifiers for the 2024 USA Olympic Trials Marathon in Orlando, FL. The program's runners set four South Carolina State road race records in 2020 (5K, 15K and Half Marathon--twice) and three (15K, 10-Mile and 20K) in 2021. GTC-ELITE  produced the South Carolina Men's 2020 Long Distance Runner of the Year and recently had the top two ranked South Carolina road racers for 2024.
