The 2018 year was amazing fun! We had 21 runners participating in either the 5k or the 10k. It was nice to have both options. Our goal for 2019 is to have a minimum of 100 racers.
Plans are in the works to change the course location next year to a location in Georgia, about an hour and a half away, but still about 50-55 minutes from Cherokee, NC and 15 minutes closer to Asheville!
We far surpassed our goal of collecting 50 books. We collected over 200 books to donate to the Burke County Literacy Council. The books will be placed in doctors' offices and county waiting rooms, as well as given directly to families who need books.
