RUN WNC was created by iDaph Events and the iDream Athletes Foundation as a love letter to the Western North Carolina running community.

For over 15 years, iDaph has been rooted in this region—as a local company made up of local runners who absolutely love the place we call home. We’ve seen how running brings people together here. How it builds friendships, boosts mental health, and helps folks feel more alive and connected.

RUN WNC is the next step in that journey. It’s a platform built to support, celebrate, and grow the amazing running culture already thriving across WNC. Whether you’re brand new to running or you’ve logged thousands of miles, this is your space. A place to find groups, discover new routes, get inspired, and stay plugged into what’s happening in the local running scene.

We’ve got big ideas for the future—programs, resources, and ways to give back—but at its core, RUN WNC is about showing up for this community. Because we’re not just building something for runners in WNC—we’re building it with you.

Thanks for being part of it. Let’s keep moving forward, together.
