Description

_ The 2018 Sing For Celebration Run/Walk 5K:

Who are we?

Celebration Singers of Asheville strives to ignite a lifelong love of singing by nurturing the full expression of each individual's potential for artistic and personal excellence by emphasizing healthy vocal technique, expresive singing and music literacy, while simultaneously engendering growth of discipline, responsibility, teamwork, self-confidence and self-esteem.

What do we do?

We are a community chorus open to children in grades 2-high school.  Our members meet once a week to rehearse a wide variety of music, including classical pieces, spiritual music, broadway tunes, popular and folk tunes.  We go out into the community and share our love of music in places such as Givens Estates, Stone Creek Rehabilitation, and for years we have delivered Valentine Serenades to homes and businesses.  In addition to these places, we have been invited to entertain guests at venues such as the Grove Park Inn, join Asheville Choral Society for their concerts, travel to regional choral festivals, and sing at the Martin Luther King, Jr. breakfast.  Each December and May, we also have our own Celebration Singers seasonal concerts.

Why a 5k?

This is our 2nd Annual 5K Fundraiser, which continues to support our mission by keeping our tuition affordable and accessible to area children, while also helping to cover rehearsal space expenses, music costs, costs for instruction and accompaniment, and much more.   

We wanted to find a fun, low key community oriented family friendly event, where our familes, members AND the community can come together once a year to help our organization continue to grow.

PACKET PICKUP: 

PRE-RACE PICK UP - Thursday April 26, 2018 - from 5-6pm, located at First Congregational UCC, located at 20 Oak Street downtown.  You will enter from the rear parking lot at the lower level, and ring the bell at door, and someone will take you to packet pick up.

RACE DAY PICK UP - On the morning of the race, from 7:30-8:00am we will also be set up at the Carrier Park Picnic Shelter/Pavilion at 220 Amboy Road, ready to assist you.

PARKING: If you are unable to park at the pavilion, consider the parking lots to the right of the bike track.  If you are running with others, you may want to consider carpooling on race day.

WAIVERS:  Each participant will be required to sign a waiver before participating in the event.  This is true for both adults and children.  Adults, please bring a photo ID.

WHAT TO BRING/WEAR: As you know, the weather can be a bit unpredictable.  If you are joining us from out of town, your best bet is to come in layers.  Feel free to bring water with you, however, we will have a water station mid-way through the course, and water available before/after race.

THE COURSE: This course was selected to be flat and managable for all.  We encourage all of you to join us no matter the level of athletic ability.  Feel free to run, jog, or walk.  Bring the dog, and bring the family.  The pavilion is available for those in your party not participating, or they can bring a chair and wait for you closer to the finish line - a VERY short walk from the pavilion.
