What better way to celebrate the start of a new year than running in the heart of downtown Asheville? The race course takes you through the bustling streets of downtown and charming neighborhoods, including the Grove Park area on the 10k route. And, of course, we’ve saved the best for last! The course will take you up North Market Street, the only remaining block of unique, historic, cobblestone brick pavers in Asheville for an exciting finish.
Course Info:
Both courses begin in Downtown Asheville’s iconic Pack Sqare. The 5K course heads north into the Montford Neighborhood while the 10K course follows and goes even further into the Grove Park area. Both routes conclude with a grand finish down historic Spruce Street and back into Pack Square. There will be a water station on the course with water, Gatorade, and JAMBARs. Please note that most streets are open to traffic so please run or walk accordingly.
