Looking for a running event in AVL? Whether a first timer, intermediate, or novice, the Autumn months is the time to schedule a run in and around this mountain city. There are multiple events during the month of September and the best part about it is, it is not too cold or too hot, the temperature will be just right and the leaves will begin to turn, making this a great time to visit for a run.
Upcoming September Races:
September 5th-Apple Festival 8K-Hendersonville, NC (after the run enjoy some cider and the fun at the annual Apple Festival on the streets of what is known as a hidden treasure, Hendersonville, N.C.)
September 5-6-AVL Running Experience-this is a series of races featuring a Hero's 5K (very popular), 8K Trail Run, and Half Marathon, are among the events planned and the kick off is the packet pick-up on the 4th. It is literally a party, complete with beer and food trucks.
September 5-5K Marine Fun Run at Crowned Plaza, this is a great run benefiting the Asheville VA, Wounded Warriors and JR. ROTC. This is also considered a tough 5k but worth it.
September 12-Autism 5K-great run for a great cause. The course starts downhill but do not be fooled, the first hill is a big one, but this is a great race for beginners and beyond. Plus, last year they had dip-n-dots.
September 12-NCSHP Glow Run 5K-After running the Autism run, head out to Hendersonville to run this fun run supporting law enforcement torch run for special Olympics.
September 13-Du Asheville Du-10K Trail Run and duathlon
September 19-Southcliff Black and Blue 6.5M and 2.6M-Fairview, NC. This is a truly awesome experience, located in Fairview, part trail part road race, and post race includes catered lunch and beer.
September 26th-Run the Forest 5K-starting at Carolina Day School, runners will be running through Biltmore Forest-this is for Asheville Eye Associates
September 26th-Bare Bones 8M/5K Trail Run-This is considered a great trail run for beginners and regular running shoes will be fine.
These are several runs occurring in September in or around Asheville. There are so many more including a 208M Blue Ridge Relay, for bikers/runners (duathloletes). So come on out to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and work up an appetite then go eat in one of the best food cities in the U.S.A.
note: check out sites such as active.com, to register, but for most of these just type in the name of the event and it will send you to the registration page.
