For just $18, your registration includes a commemorative medal and bib, shipped directly to you upon completion. Beyond the personal achievement, you'll also be running for a greater cause, as at least 15% of every entry is dedicated to supporting a leading domestic hunger relief organization. While the "Race Through North Carolina" offers the freedom of a virtual course, the spirit of running in North Carolina evokes thoughts of diverse landscapes, from scenic mountain vistas to coastal paths. If you were running outdoors in North Carolina during February, you could typically expect highs around 49F and lows around 29F, with a 12% chance of precipitation, providing a cool and crisp running environment.
This event is not about a specific start line in Asheville, but about celebrating your passion for running and the beautiful state of North Carolina from wherever you are. Simply complete your chosen distance, submit your time, and receive your well-deserved finisher's medal, all while contributing to a meaningful cause.
