This race deserves to be on every runners bucket-list and will indeed be on every runners “best race” list. Nestled in the blue ridge mountains, the Biltmore Estate was built for George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1889 and 1895 and holds the record of being the largest privately owned house in the United States.
We are excited to be celebrating the 25th running of this race. Started in 1997, with a 3 year break from 2020-2022, 2025 will be a banner year for this event!
