2025 SUMMER SESSION
MARATHON RELAY & 5K
Saturday, June 28th 2025
Race Start Times: Marathon Relay 7:00AM | 5k 7:30AM
The Ecusta Trail, formally a rail line, is an incredible project that connects several WNC neighborhoods with 19.4 miles of greenway between Hendersonville and Brevard. This Summer we’ll kick off the season with a Marathon Relay with a 4 Person and 2 Person team options. If you’re still wanting to join in on the fun but go solo, you can also sign up for the 5k solo option.
The Summer Session Marathon Relay & 5k starts and finishes right in front of Trailside Brewing in Hendersonville, NC. The course will be an out and back on the new launched Ecusta Trail. 4 Person Team Relay runners will hand off to their next teammate after each 6.55 mile out and back. 2 Person will run 2 out and backs to complete 13.1 miles each.
*Permit Pending!* * Course subject to change*
5k Runners will complete their own 1.55 mile out and back. All runners are encouraged to join in on watching the marathon relay runners while toasting to their achievement with a Trailside Brewing beer included in registration for those 21+!
