The Biltmore Kiwanis 15K & 5K Classic deserves to be on every runners bucket-list and will indeed be on every runners “best race” list. Nestled in the blue ridge mountains, the Biltmore Estate was built for George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1889 and 1895 and holds the record of being … MORE

    This is a fun race and a fun distance. There are not many 15k races, which is part of the appeal here. The course can be challenging, as there are long stretches of uphill, but the scenery is fantastic. You get to run right up and around the house, making for a great photo op. You also get to run through the gardens and down by the river.

    The course was mostly well marked, but some parts can be confusing. I think this could be improved. The prizes were ok, but nothing special. This is a charity run, so I would prefer the money go there anyway.

    This race is pricey, but a very cool course if you want to explore the Biltmore Estate.

    Always great running through Biltmore with the gorgeous scenery. I did the 5K which was 2.5K out and then turn around, so there wasn’t as much scenery as the 15K runners. The only issue with Biltmore is the price spectators have to pay just to enter the estate. It’s about $27-ish which is costly if your whole family comes to watch you run.
