Thanks to an incredibly generous donation from running enthusiast Charlie Raymer, iDaph Events is proud to introduce the Hope in Motion Relief Fund. Designed to support first-time runners and local athletes who were impacted by Hurricane Helene, this fund will provide complimentary entries to the Asheville Marathon & Half.

To make it even better, iDream Athletes Foundation, known for supporting community wellness and resilience, will match Charlie’s donation, doubling the number of entries available through the relief fund. We are deeply grateful for Charlie Raymer and his generosity, and to iDream Athletes  Foundation for helping us amplify his generosity.

If you are interested in signing up for your first half marathon or marathon, or if you were affected by Hurricane Helene and would love to participate in the 2025 Asheville Marathon & Half, please complete the form below by November 24, 2024. On November 25th, we will select recipients through a lottery system, and they will receive a complimentary entry to the 2025 Asheville Marathon & Half.

If you would like to support Hope in Motion, you can donate through iDream and 100% of your donation will go towards providing additional entries through the relief fund.
