Asheville Marathon and Half

March 18, 2023 @ 7:30 am - 2:00 pm

We’re returning to downtown Asheville and the amazing RAD greenway for 2023! These races start in the heart of downtown Asheville (Pack Square Park) and weave their way down to the French Broad River, where runners will remain for the duration of the race. The greenway is scenic and flat, and we’ll have planned entertainment along the way to keep you revved up (think live music, buskers, cheer zones and festive water stations). With a net elevation loss, this course is primed and ready for your next PR!

This race is a point-to-point course, ending at the beer, art, and entertainment mecca, the Wedge at Foundation. Post-race shuttles to both Pack Square Park and the DoubleTree Hotel (Biltmore Village) are free for all race participants.

The Asheville Marathon & Half is USATF certified and will remain a Boston Qualifier.

The Asheville Marathon & Half run through the best parts of the City of Asheville, North Carolina, including downtown city streets, the River Arts District, along the French Broad River, and through the park for this city-style, point-to-point race. These fast races are a dream come true for runners looking to get a personal best in the mountains of Western North Carolina. The majority of the miles are downhill from downtown and ‘flat’ running along the river on the greenway and through the city parks. Endurance runners will have an opportunity to ‘break in’ the brand new section of the newly completed greenway section of the French Broad River Greenway on Riverside Drive and Lyman Street. Runners are on mostly paved surfaces throughout the entire event with a few dirt sections within the French Broad River Park.
