Please join us for the highlight of the Western North Carolina summer racing season as we celebrate our 9th year of supporting greenways in our community. The Highland Brewing Night Flight returns Saturday, July 22nd, with our 4.5-mile East Asheville course that takes runners through the Asheville Golf Course, through the Beverly Hills neighborhood (where you will be showered with cheers, and maybe sprinklers, from the residents) and past the WNC Nature Center before finishing back at Highland Brewing Company.

The post-race party and awards ceremony will be in the Meadow at Highland Brewing. Dressing up is always encouraged, and there will be beer waiting at the finish line for runners 21+! 100% of race proceeds go to the development of greenways in Asheville and Buncombe County through Connect Buncombe.

Online registration opens Wednesday, March 22 at 9:00 AM EST.

Course(s)

The Highland Brewing Night Flight rolling course will take you from Highland to the Beverly Hills neighborhood of East Asheville and through the Asheville Municipal Golf Course. As you leave Beverly Hills there will be a downhill section before crossing Swannanoa River Road and hooking up with Azalea Road before taking Gashes Creek Road to the its end where you will meet up with a trail leading back to the brewery and the finish line in the Meadow.

The course will be staffed with volunteers and police throughout.

While the course is not designed for walkers, walkers who can maintain a minimum pace of 15 minutes per mile are welcome!

Well behaved leashed dogs are welcome to participate as our parents with strollers.
