Run the Beech
is a running/walking race series on Beech Mountain that has the goal of offering an outdoor activity that is affordable and for all abilities. This series consists of 4 races from June 27-July 25 that will highlight the unique terrain that Beech has to offer. All races are on Friday evening, starting at 6pm. Each race will be at a different location within Beech Mountain town limits and will offer a short course (1-2 miles) and a long course (3-4 miles). Sign up for all of them for $50 or join us for one for $15! You will receive a t-shirt when you sign up for all 4, or purchase one for $15. T-shirt size only guaranteed to those who pre-register for the entire series by June 9th. Food and drink included at every course with every race registration. Courses are not stroller friendly.
Features:
Timed Event: Timed by Recreation Staff and amazing professional volunteers.
Raffle: All preregistered racers will be included in a raffle of COOL prizes. No age group awards, but 1st 2nd and third for Male and Female, long and short course. If you don't win a prize, at least you get food! After finishing your race, stop in at the registration tent after your race to see if you won.
Food and drink: With your super cheap entry, after you run we provide dinner! We have amazing sponsors who provide you with food and a beer (if 21+) or drink.
Food this year includes Fred's General Stores' epic salads, stickboy grilled cheese, Brick Oven's Famous Pizza!

Course Options: Short Course (1-2 miles) and Long Course (3 - 4 miles) are both provided and well marked on the night of the race. You are allowed to change which course you are running, just let us know! This is your race!
