About the Appalachian Sustainable Development Barn To Run 4 Miler
The course starts and finishes at The Meadows, with a stretch out and back on the Creeper Trail. Underfoot it is a rail trail, so the surface is smooth and the grade is gentle. The surrounding area is rural and open, fitting for a race tied to local agriculture and farming.
The event has a costume element: runners show up dressed as fruits, vegetables, or farmers, which sets the tone for the evening. Proceeds go to Appalachian Sustainable Development, so the post-race atmosphere leans toward the organization's mission rather than pure racing.
