A number of different types of fitness events, from triathlons and marathons to one-mile races and fun runs, are hosted throughout our region year-round. Registering for a race or event gives you something to train for and can be an effective and fun way to stick to your health and movement goals for this year. \u201cParticipating in a race has a different meaning to everyone,\u201d says Daphne Kirkwood, owner of iDaph Events, which presents a packed annual race calendar in WNC at iDaph.net. \u201cFor some, it is a test of their endurance and fitness. For someone else, a race may be a competition against others or themselves or it might be to improve or beat a race time that they had previously. Another participant might just have the 5k goal in front of them so that they can get up in the morning and stay motivated to get to the gym a few times a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your reason for signing up for a fitness event, there is one in the next 11 months that can help you stay focused and get motivated to exercise. If you\u2019re new to such events, start slow and small with a race that welcomes walkers and families, such as the Frostbite 5k, 10k and 1-Mile Fun Run on Sunday, February 19, in Fletcher. Kirkwood\u2019s advice for true newbies is to start moving with any kind of activity that you enjoy: walking, dancing, biking, swimming or the elliptical. \u201cStart with shorter time intervals,\u201d she says. \u201cLet your body get acclimated to the movement that you are doing.\u201d Maintain consistency in your workout schedule, be patient and don\u2019t be afraid to experiment. \u201cTry movement first thing in the morning, try it on your lunch break, try it in the evening after work,\u201d she says. \u201cHaving the variety in the beginning will allow you to see what your body and mind like the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But her most important tip is having a concrete goal to keep you motivated. \u201cSign up for a race and have a goal in front of you,\u201d she says. \u201cStarting with a one-mile race, then moving to a 5k race is a gradual progression that makes sense for you mentally and physically.\u201d If you\u2019re ready for a 5k or 10k or your first stab at a sprint triathlon, try doing one of those events without a time expectation. Sometimes, the goal is just to finish! \u201cYou don\u2019t have to try to do too much, which can lead to injuries, and train for race distances that you just don\u2019t have the time to do,\u201d says Kirkwood. \u201cSo keep things in stride and create a goal for yourself that works where you are at right now in the present moment with your life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information, search online for the title of the event.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2023: A year of movement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>2\/19 \u2013 Frostbite Races 5k, 10k &amp; One Mile (Fletcher)<br \/>\n3\/18 \u2013 Asheville Marathon &amp; Half Marathon<br \/>\n3\/25 \u2013 Lake Junaluska Friends of the Lake 5k<br \/>\n4\/1\u2013 Gateway to the Smokies Half Marathon (Waynesville)<br \/>\n5\/13 \u2013 Jump Off Rock Half Marathon &amp; 10k (Hendersonville)<br \/>\n6\/11 \u2013 RAD Half Marathon &amp; 10k (Asheville)<br \/>\n6\/17 \u2013 Hendersonville Triathlon<br \/>\n7\/16 \u2013 Asheville Triathlon<br \/>\n8\/12 \u2013 Lake Lure Sprint Triathlon<br \/>\n10\/8 \u2013 Black Bear Half Marathon &amp; 8k (Hendersonville)<br \/>\n10\/21 \u2013 Trick or Trail 5k &amp; Spooky Sprint One Mile (Hendersonville)<br \/>\n11\/23 \u2013 South Asheville Turkey Trot 5k<br \/>\n12\/2 \u2013 Ugly Sweater Run 5K &amp; 10K (Mills River)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A number of different types of fitness events, from triathlons and marathons to one-mile races and fun runs, are hosted throughout our region year-round.
