Asheville Half Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing
A cool 42°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 61°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

The Asheville Half Marathon starts on College Street in downtown Asheville and climbs into the historic neighborhoods of North Asheville along Charlotte Street, Griffing Boulevard and Kimberly Avenue. It passes the Grove Park area and the Victorian-era streets of Montford before coming back downtown past Wall Street, Battery Park Avenue and Pack Square. The final miles run through the flat River Arts District, past murals and artist studios, to a point-to-point finish at New Belgium Brewing. The course is USATF-certified.
