We are honored to welcome MAHEC as the official charity partner of the 2027 New Belgium Asheville Marathon & Half.

For more than 50 years, MAHEC has helped strengthen Western North Carolina by training healthcare professionals, expanding access to care, and investing in the health and well-being of our communities. Their work touches countless lives across our region, often in ways many of us never see, but all of us benefit from.

We believe strong communities are built by people who show up for one another. That's why we're especially proud to partner with an organization whose mission is centered on service, compassion, education, and creating a healthier future for all.

Please join us in giving MAHEC a warm welcome to the Asheville Marathon family. We look forward to supporting their incredible work and making an impact together, one mile at a time.
