This the best (IMHO) road race in Asheville. The course is a lot of “fun”, with roughly 5 miles up a decent incline, and then 5 miles back down. It is almost two races in one, and requires some strategy. The race is ~90% on the roads, with some packed gravel. The scenery is beautiful, and you can see the governor’s Western mansion near the top of the mountain. You might also see a bear or two in the woods.
The post-race food is the best at any running event I have been to, and there is also lots of beer.
If you were to run one race in Asheville, I would recommend this one.
