We welcome folks to race at their own pace and enjoy 5 miles on the most beautiful stretch of the Broad River. Remember, the hare may not outrun the tortoise!
This race only has two rules:
– You MUST wear a pfd.
– No motors allowed
Otherwise, you can paddle solo, tandem, or with as many people as will fit in your boat. We will meet at the Lake Houser put-in at 1:45 sharp to drop off boats. From there, we will take vehicles to the Broad River Greenway and get a shuttle back to the put in. (If you don’t have a Greenway sticker, you may have a $5 parking fee). Betsy the Turtle drops and the race begins at 3:00pm. And we’re off to paddle or just float at your own pace. First person, or first team, across the finish line wins a MountainTrue gift bag and takes possession of the Turtle until next year’s race.
Find your zen during this stressful time. Miranda Peterson of Asheville yoga hike company Namaste in Nature has developed a series of free, online videos to help you relax. From a 10-minute sensory meditation to a gentle, immune boosting yoga asana practice, these videos are designed to “calm and support your immune system.”

City of Asheville provides hand washing stations to help reduce spread of COVID-19
Apr 27 all-day
City of Asheville
Update:
For a map of temporary, portable hand washing stations and restrooms, visit this link. The map is being updated as new stations are installed.
Original post:
With the COVID-19 public health emergency going on it has never been more important to be able to wash your hands. Besides keeping 6 feet of distance between yourself and others, hand washing and sanitation have been identified as important measures in reducing the spread of contagion.
Portable hand washing station on the sidewalk by Pritchard Park.
That’s why the City of Asheville has installed portable hand washing stations in several strategic places around town. We realize that people sometimes have to travel on ART buses to get to work, buy groceries or pick up prescriptions from the pharmacy, for example. Also, our unsheltered population needs places to wash their hands as well.
For these reasons, the City has installed portable hand washing stations at the following locations:
Outside of Pritchard Park, on the sidewalk.
Pack Square Park, downtown
AHope Day Shelter, 19 N. Ann St.
ABCCM Medical Ministry, 155 Livingston St.
12 Baskets, 610 Haywood Road
Haywood Street Congregation, 297 Haywood St.
Portable restroom facilities have been provided outside Pritchard Park, in Pack Square Park and at the ART Station.
The City of Asheville is coordinating these actions in partnership with Buncombe County Public Health Officials.
This is an evolving situation and information is often changing. For resources on prevention best practices and news updates, visit Buncombe Ready. Additional guidance is on the Buncombe County Public Health website.

Women Creating Deeper Connection Amidst Uncertainty-ONLINE
Apr 27 @ 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Facebook
Women, now more than ever, it’s essential to continue building our connection with Self and in turn with others.
To recognize and express our knowing, our truth and feel the fullness of our being. No more apologies, no more waiting for permission to be who we are in the world. Now is the time. The world needs us fully expressed!
No more hiding aspects of ourselves in order to keep others around us comfortable. Let’s be with all of it- our wisdom, our messiness, our hurts, our desires all in a safe and intimate container.
This class is limited to 10 women. Each week will be guided by a powerful theme. We’ll be using the tools of Authentic Relating and Circling to get curious, to be with each other with deep listening, embracing all that arises as we learn to slow down, notice the nuance of our experience, and articulate that with each other.
The Cost: pay what you can. Suggested range $50-$175
Class schedule: Mondays 2:30-4:30pm
April 6th- May 11th
Cost will include a 30 min one on one with Cathy, weekly class, Inclusion in private FB group.
