French Broad 10 Mile Relay

Celebrating the Women Who Saved the French Broad

Join us for the inaugural French Broad 10 Mile Relay on Saturday, September 21, 2024!

Each team will consist of five members, each of whom will run a two-mile loop on the RAD Greenway. The course starts and ends at the iconic “wheel” posted along the greenway. The turn around point is just before the Amboy Bridge, providing each runner with smooth downhill as the cruise home to the exchange zone.

This event celebrates the women who helped preserve the French Broad River and proceeds will benefit Riverlink. We would like to thank the families of Karen Cragnolin, Jean Webb, and Wilma Dykeman for their support.

This is our first year

and we’d like to make it stand out!

This event is a 10 mile relay race on a two-mile course. Each member of a five-person team will complete one loop and hand off to next participant.
