June 22 The Beech Mountain 10k ClimbMax The Beech Mountain 10k ClimbMax, presented by BeechMtn.com, is set to challenge runners with a demanding course on Saturday. The race includes more than 800 total feet of elevation gain. The first two miles will be mostly downhill, winding along a scenic stretch of Beech Mountain Parkway toward the ski village.
From that point, it’s a long, steady uphill climb – punctuated by several switchbacks and long-range vistas – to a height of 5,443 feet, just below the mountain’s summit. The route replaces a fairly challenging 5-mile course upon which the town hosted an event known as A Cool 5 for several years.
As in previous years, there will be a simultaneous fun run/walk for family members and others of all ages. Strollers and pets are allowed, and encouraged, in the fun run.
