2025 Get Your Rear in Gear - Asheville
EVENT UPDATE
After careful consideration, we regret to announce that we must postpone the upcoming Get Your Rear in Gear – Asheville 5K Run/Walk, originally scheduled for March 29th, 2025.
The September hurricane caused significant damage to the area, and clean-up efforts are still underway. The Asheville parks system has indefinitely closed Carrier Park (and many other parks), and until it is up and running, we are unable to proceed as planned. The safety and well-being of our participants and the community are our top priorities, and we appreciate your understanding as we support these recovery efforts.
We understand that this may come as a disappointment, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are working closely with the park authorities to ensure that the event will be rescheduled as soon as possible, and we will keep you updated on any new developments.
In place of the race, we will be rolling out opportunities to still give/support the event and the grant funds.
We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your continued support.

Local Impact
Your funds stay local. We are unique in that funds raised for this event stay in the community to get people screened, directly support local colon cancer patients, and educate the community.
