Description

An Extraordinary Race for Runners of all Abilities!
17th Annual 5k + 15k races! Set for Sunday, May 18th, 2014 at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC
Runners mark your calendars for Sunday, May 18th, 2014 at 7:15am, for the Biltmore/Kiwanis 15K/5K Classic Races. Both races are run entirely on the scenic grounds of Biltmore estate. The 15K begins at the Winery, climbs to the Deerpark Restaurant then descends and climbs along the main road to Biltmore House where runners will loop in front of the massive main entrance doors of the house. Runners ...next enter the Walled Garden, pass by the Azalea Garden and lagoon along the French Broad River, and then finish by returning to the Winery. The first half of the course has two challenging hills, while the second half is down hill to flat terrain. The 5K course will be a flat, out and back course starting at the Winery and paralleling the French Broad River.

When runners participate in the race, they are not only competing for medals, but also are helping to fund the Kiwanis Children's Charities which supports several local youth programs.
