I’ll bet that the course is absolutly amazing. Going right next to the river the whole time? Sounds unbelieveable. I might have to make the drive from Raleigh for one of these. Thanks for the post.

I’m glad to see this going on… I remember starting this series back in 1995. It has been taken up by many people since but it is great to see it continue.

Are you starting in Marshall where the French Broad Race started? It originally went out the other directions just past the Alexander Post office… The course is deceptive but still very fast. Good Luck!!!

Is this Andy Applegate’s home course?! We don’t stand a chance! : )

Not only Andy, but world champ David Grice is not too shabby either…yes, still starting in Marshall, same course as the FB race…the race has changed hands many times over the past few years. On the verge of extinction this year, the ABRC prez and I decided to not let it die. Hopefully it will be supported!
