New Belgium Asheville Marathon and Half
March 15 @ 7:30 am - 2:00 pm
The New Belgium Asheville Marathon & Half is back this year with a new perspective, renewed purpose, and a story that’s unlike any other. In September, Hurricane Helene brought devastation to our beloved city in ways we never imagined. For a moment, we weren’t sure this event could happen. Then, city officials reached out with a simple yet powerful message: We need running back. And they were right.
This year, the New Belgium Asheville Marathon & Half isn’t just about crossing the finish line; it’s about uniting as locals and visitors to rally around a city that refuses to stay down. The landscape may look a little different, but the spirit of Asheville shines brighter than ever. Together, we’ll run through the scars of the storm, celebrate our vibrant community, and remind the world what it means to rise stronger in the face of adversity.
This is more than a race. This is Asheville’s comeback story. We hope you’ll join us in writing the next chapter.
