Western North Carolina is packed with races that bring our running (and riding!) community together—from flat and fast 5Ks to mountain-heavy marathons, triathlons, and everything in between. Whether you’re chasing a PR, showing up for fun, or just testing your limits on new terrain, there’s something on the calendar for you.
Browse our list of local events happening in Asheville, Hendersonville, Brevard, and beyond—then grab your spot, rally your crew, and get ready for a day that’s way more fun than training alone.
