2020 Virtual Chamber Challenge 5K Race

The 2020 Chamber Challenge 5k Race is going virtual!

Virtual meetings and events are becoming the “new norm” for the Asheville Chamber, and our annual 5k run/walk is no exception. We’re working hard to promote good health and wellness in the workplace – whether you’re at the office, company plant, or working from home!

Our goal for the Chamber Challenge 5k event has always been to raise funds and awareness for the Chamber while promoting wellness in the workplace.

Instead of gathering 1200+ people in one place, we’ve broadened our horizons to offer everyone a new, flexible option — a Virtual Chamber Challenge!

Here’s how it works:

  • Registration opens online here on July 17th
  • Train and prepare by taking advantage of training videos and health & fitness tips provided by our sponsors
  • Challenge your co-workers, friends and family to a fun competition; encourage them to register and participate too!
  • Run or walk YOUR course (your neighborhood, local greenway, company parking lot, your home treadmill – wherever!) on the day of your choice September 14 – 25
  • Take a photo of yourself doing your run/walk and post it on social media #chamberchallenge
  • Record your time and report it by email to the Chamber (Yes, this is an honor system.)
  • Be sure to check out the special savings options and helpful information provided by our sponsors and race vendors in your virtual goody bag (sent to you after you register). Support these businesses in our community!

Cost: $30/person (no teams in this year’s virtual race)

Awards:

Join us for a virtual awards presentation on Monday, September 28th. Pardee UNC Health will present the Good Health Good Business award for a local business that demonstrates a significant commitment to employee wellness. We’ll also announce our top finishers (50) who will receive a gift bag of prizes from our sponsors and the top companies (based on average of finish times of their participants)! On Sept. 25th, all event participants will receive a link to join this virtual presentation via Zoom.
