Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, you’ll find Asheville North Carolina. With its clean mountain water, Asheville has a long legacy of beer brewing and now hosts over 30 craft breweries as well as some of the best breweries in the country. On the top of many lists of must see cities for the beer enthusiasts, this mountain town is also a mecca for runners, bikers and hikers alike. We are beyond excited to be hosting the Beer City Relay again, an event that encapsulates running and craft beer.
The esteemed host for this year’s event is none other than New Belgium Brewing along the French Broad River. Originating in Fort Collins CO, New Belgium brought their east coast hub to Asheville in 2016.
The event is meant to be a fun 5K or 10K relay with a team aspect. The course consists of one 5K loop. Teams of 4 will each complete the 5K course 1 time in relay. Teams of 2 will each complete the 5K course twice in relay to run a 10K. Single runners 5K option. Runners will run the 5k loop once and need no other team members.

This is a great, approachable, team racing opportunity. The course is challenging, with lots of uphill running. It’s not the most scenic course, but it’s not terrible.
The 4-person relay aspect is really fun and I wish there was another race or series like this. I would do it again.
The post-race food and swag was good, and you get a beer from the brewery near the start line.
