If you
haven't tried either race, welcome! The 10 mile has been known to make
Kenyans utter one single word over and over at the end of the day
(Steep!) and is remarkable not just for the climb but for the view.
It's a beauty, and was just named as one of the top ten road races in the
Southeast by Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine (the only NC race to be named).
Don't be seduced by city lights or flyin'critters- this is the race for
your spring. The 5k runs through a mighty pretty neighborhood with a
lovely view of the historic Grove Park Inn. It's gently rolling, and
about as flat as you can get in these here parts.
-
If
you've done any of the races before, welcome back! We hope to continue to
improve parts of the race that need work, and we appreciate your support and
patience. Thank you!
Things
that stay the same:
-
Awesome
t shirts
-
Sore
legs the next day
