Buncombe County Special Olympics Rowdown Throwdown
Nov 9 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
South Slope CrossFit

Buncombe County Special Olympics and South Slope CrossFit’s Adaptive Athlete program will be hosting a benefit rowathon. Our Rowdown Throwdown will consist of teams of 10 rowing a marathon (42,195 meters) for time. Rowing can be split however your teams decides to split it up. If you split it evenly then each person will row 4,220 meters which takes approximately 20min – 30min total time on the rower.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 which will be split 50/50 between both Buncombe County Special Olympics and the South Slope CrossFit Adaptive Athlete Program.

If you do not have a team then no problem. We can place you on a team (just register under the individual looking for a team).

This event is meant to be fun for everyone and we plan to make sure you all have fun.

This event is open to individuals of all ages and athletic ability.

We are seeking corporate sponsorships as well. If you are interested then please get in contact with either Scott Mirkin of South Slope CrossFit ([email protected]) or Karla Furnari of Buncombe County Special Olympics ([email protected]).

We are looking forward to having an amazing day of friendship and fitness!

The Asheville Marathon & Half at Biltmore Estate Sign Up Now
Nov 10 all-day
Biltmore Estate

Woman running in front Biltmore House.jpg

The Asheville Marathon began 8 years ago with only a marathon option, which sold out quickly in its first year, and again the next year. A nationwide interest in half marathons was becoming popular, so for the 3rd year a half marathon option was added.  In the 4th year, the event expanded to two days of races and a half marathon on each day.  To add a twist in the 5th year the Backyard to Vineyard Challenge was created, where participants race in the Saturday half and Sunday full. The challenge was very popular and for the 6th anniversary, Backyard to Backyard Challenge was added, where participants run both the Saturday half and the Sunday half. Now in its 8th year both days of races, including the challenges, are expected to be sold out, with 3,100 participants.

The Asheville Marathon & Half at Biltmore Estate is held on and run entirely on the grounds of the Biltmore Estate, where runners will wind through paved and packed dirt roads to see hardwood forest, meadows, gardens, and extraordinary views of the Biltmore House and Estate. This is the original Asheville Marathon and first race of its kind to come to Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina; don’t miss out on being part of history at Biltmore Estate.

The Asheville Marathon began 8 years ago with only a marathon option, which sold out quickly in its first year, and again the next year. A nationwide interest in half marathons was becoming popular, so for the 3rd year a half marathon option was added.  In the 4th year, the event expanded to two days of races and a half marathon on each day.  To add a twist in the 5th year the Backyard to Vineyard Challenge was created, where participants race in the Saturday half and Sunday full. The challenge was very popular and for the 6th anniversary, Backyard to Backyard Challenge was added, where participants run both the Saturday half and the Sunday half. Now in its 8th year both days of races, including the challenges, are expected to be sold out, with 3,100 participants.

The Asheville Marathon & Half at Biltmore Estate is held on and run entirely on the grounds of the Biltmore Estate, where runners will wind through paved and packed dirt roads to see hardwood forest, meadows, gardens, and extraordinary views of the Biltmore House and Estate. This is the original Asheville Marathon and first race of its kind to come to Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina; don’t miss out on being part of history at Biltmore Estate.
