After over 3 weeks of uncertainty and instability, we’re excited to share that our Kick It team has made it back home and we’ve been able to reschedule most of our postponed events! While it wasn’t our immediate priority, we are really happy to start to take steps towards a new normal.

The Wicked Spooky 5k, originally 10/26, will be rescheduled to Saturday, Dec 7.
Thomas Wolfe 8k, originally 10/20, will be rescheduled to Saturday, May 3.

The Forest Service is still assessing the damage for the bridge that connects to the trailhead for Chasing Trails and we’ll keep runners updated when we can!

Registration has reopened for both Wicked Spooky and Thomas Wolfe!

Wicked Spooky 5k has been postponed indefinitely. Runners please check your emails.

Understandably, the City of Asheville has postponed outdoor event permits for the next 6 weeks as Western North Carolina recovers and rebuilds from the devastation of Hurricane Helene.

Kick It Events will be working with them to secure a new date.

The Oktoberfest Half Marathon & 5k has been canceled.

The River Arts District, homebase for this event, was completely flooded by Hurricane Helene. Hi-Wire Brewing’s beautiful beer garden washed away almost entirely. Even though flood waters have receded and the greenways and roads are visible, the mud that now covers the majority of the course is covered in toxic mud and cleanup will be painstaking.

The hard work has begun though. Our non-profit partners are busy doing what they do best, reaching out to the community. Police and EMS are still in recovery as hundreds of people are still missing.

With this unprecedented catastrophe, the most responsible thing for us to do is to cancel the in-person Oktoberfest races.

Runners, please see your email for updated communication.

Hello to our wonderful runners,
I hope everyone is safe. I know this is probably at the bottom of your priority list since most of us are without power, water etc... but I need to update you. In lieu of the catastrophe that we are all dealing with in WNC we have decided to postpone the Thomas Wolfe 8k.
When we are able, we will work with the city to find another date and will update you all. This is Asheville's oldest running event and we will bring it back, we just don't know when it will be safe as of yet.
Thanks again for your support.

Look who stopped by to see if we are ok….

It has taken us days to absorb the catastrophe that is Hurricane Helene. I’m not sure we ever will truly comprehend the damage. First off, we are all ok. Like all of Western NC, our hearts are broken but our spirit remains strong. What has always been important to Kick It Events is community. Whether it’s partnerships with our sponsors, supporting our favorite non-profit organizations or high-fiving our runners, it’s what keeps us doing what we do. For now, all of that needs to take a backseat to the distribution of services, assistance to communities still in peril and the massive recovery efforts.

Our city management, police, fire and EMS personnel are all focussing on what is of the utmost importance, which is keeping our city safe and helping get supplies to where they need to go. We rely on these talented and devoted professionals with every event but now need to let them do their primary jobs. Also, encouraging additional people to head to the region for an event is unfathomable.

As far as our racing schedule…. It's on hold while we focus on keeping ourselves and our neighbors safe. Here is the current status (but may change as the situation evolves) of our upcoming race:

Chasing Trail Ultra Races postponed (new date TBD)
Thomas Wolfe 8k postponed (new date TBD)
Wicked Spooky 5k still currently still scheduled for Oct. 26 tentatively)
Oktoberfest Half Marathon and 5k postponed till Nov 2 (tentatively)

Again, our focus is on our family, friends and community at this time.
We can't wait to see you all again.

Hurricane Helene

Yesterday, Sept. 25, Buncombe County declared a local state of emergency, following Governor Cooper’s state of emergency for North Carolina, as the area prepares for the impacts of Hurricane Helen. The City of Asheville, adhering to best public safety practices, will be diverting resources to storm response. As such, they made the hard decision to cancel permits for events on streets and City-owned property scheduled from Thursday to Sunday. Sadly, this cancellation affects our event as well.

As per our postponement policy the race is rescheduled for our backup date of November 2nd. We will be emailing more info. Stay tuned and stay safe
