Please note: The course time limit is 2:00 PM for all participants.
We're returning to downtown Asheville and the amazing RAD greenway for 2022! This race starts in the heart of downtown (Pack Square Park) and weaves its way down to the French Broad River, where runners will remain for the duration of the race.
The greenway is scenic and flat, and we'll have planned entertainment along the way to keep you revved up (think live music, buskers, cheer zones and festive water stations). With a net elevation loss, this course is primed and ready for your next PR!
If you joined us for the 2021 event and are dreading the uphill ending ... don't worry - we removed it! This race is now a point-to-point course, ending at the beer, art, and entertainment mecca, the Wedge at Foundation. Post-race shuttles to both Pack Square Park and the DoubleTree Hotel (Biltmore Village) are free for all race participants.
