The Bearwallow Beast 5k trail run on May 4, 2014, features one of the most unrelenting climbs you’ll find in the southern Appalachians, reaching from the floor of the Hickory Nut Gorge to the scenic summit of Bearwallow Mountain with more than 1,400 feet of vertical gain traversing asphalt, rugged gravel roads, and single-track trail.
Located near Gerton, N.C., panoramic views, local craft brews, and music from Brushfire Stankgrass reward those who make it to the top. Gift certificates from Jus’ Running will be awarded for the top three overall male and female finishers with $100 to first, $75 to second and $50 to third. Registered runners receive a race t-shirt (tech fabric).
