The temperatures were 🔥, but the energy was even HOTTER!
You all showed up, dug deep, encouraged each other, dumped cups of water over your heads, chased PRs, changed goals, high-fived strangers, and refused to quit. 💪
The RAD Half Marathon & 10K presented by Hunter Subaru wasn't about perfect conditions...it was about grit, community, and proving that this running family can handle just about anything.
A BIG congratulations to everyone who crossed the finish line today! And to all the runners that finished all three events in the Appalachian Trilogy this weekend. 🏅 What an incredible accomplishment!!! 👏
And because events like this take a village, thank you to the City of Asheville, our law enforcement, medical teams, course marshals, and the amazing volunteers who worked behind the scenes to keep everyone safe. And to all of this weekend’s race sponsors and vendors, thank you 🙏.
Thank you to Hi-Wire Brewing for hosting another epic post-race celebration 🍻 and to everyone who helped us support the RADA Foundation.
Rest up, recover well, and wear those medals proudly. You earned them.
