Missing the Asheville Citizen Times 1/2 Marathon course? We're bringing it back, baby!
The race will begin on Coxe Avenue in the heart of the South Slope and proceed north through downtown into North Asheville and through the Grove Park neighborhood including the famous climb of Cherokee. After this section the course is exactly the same including the sections on Kimberly Avenue, around the Country Club of Asheville, the Beaver Lake Trail, Lookout Mountain and UNCA before heading to Broadway. At this point we will join the Reedy Creek Greenway before taking the final stretch up and over Patton Avenue on Lexington Avenue for the final sprint to the finish on Coxe.
The course is USATF certified. CLICK HERE to download a map of the official course. Don't wait until race day as the registration jumps to $80. Get it done now.
