On its 6,000 acres of Pisgah National Forest soil lays a network of trails and roads that have made it a favorite of local mountain bikers, hikers, and runners, including Daphne herself. “It’s wide forest service roads with a mixture of gravel and dirt are perfect training grounds for the upcoming marathon & newly added half marathon at Biltmore Estate,” says Kirkwood. Take the opportunity to talk to Danny Dreyer from Chi Running about the best ways to put some spring in your running performance, all the while staying happy, healthy, and injury free. Enjoy cavorting among other avid runners, like yourself, who like nothing more than lacing up their kicks and taking off (or slipping on a pair of Mizunos, if that’s what floats your boat). Yes, it truly will be an occasion of, by, and for runners. Everyone will meet up at 9:00 am at the Bent Creek (Hardtimes) parking area, available for use near the North Carolina Arboretum.
