Press release here, from loyal reader Amy:
Hey Ash,
I was hoping you could let your readers know about another upcoming 5K. I know there are a ton going on this spring, but I think this is the only one in West Asheville!
On Saturday, April 24th at 9AM Vance Elementary in West Asheville will be holding the First Annual Vance Rocket Run 5K! The run will begin at the school and lead runners on a 5K loop around West Asheville before ending back at Vance. Once the main race is over there will be a Pluto Fun Run for the kids and prizes donated by Jus’ Running and Foot Rx will be awarded. The cost of the 5K is $20 up until midnight on April 22nd and $25 from April 23-24th. All proceeds go directly to projects and programs at Vance Elementary and the first 100 registered runners will receive a race tee! Runners can register online via a link at www.vancerocketrun.com, where you can also check out a course map. Once the race is over, runners are welcome to stay at Vance and enjoy the International Children’s Festival, which starts at 11am and will feature international food, games and crafts from around the globe, a taekwondo demonstration, hula hooping, puppet shows and a performance by local favorites, Sirius B.
Thanks!
amy.
