A Ten Mile Race
Looking for a race that’s challenging, scenic, and unlike anything else? Welcome to The Flying Squirrel Ten Miler – Asheville’s premier 10-mile road race presented by Jus’ Running. Whether you’re chasing a personal record or just looking for an unforgettable running experience, this race is for you.
One-Of-A-Kind Course
Starting just blocks from downtown Asheville, the one-of-a-kind course takes you on a journey through the winding, shaded roads of Town Mountain, including hidden gems like Sunset Drive and Patton Mountain Road. With the Southern Appalachians as your backdrop, you'll be earning those views every step of the way.
Course Info:
A few roads near the Start and Finish will be completely closed to traffic, though all other roads will be open to traffic. Because of this runners should be aware of oncoming vehicles. There will be course marshals on the course to direct traffic and will do the best to make sure that participants stay safe and that vehicles do no interfere with race participants. The course will be well marked as well.
This is a very hilly 10 mile "lollipop" course. The first and last ~.75 miles is fairly flat. The remainder of the course is hilly. Think of the course as one big hill - the first half is uphill and the second half is downhill. Most of the hills are fairly gradual, though there are a few short steep sections. The course is 85% paved, with miles ~5 through 6.5 on gravel (Patton Mountain Road).
