Asheville, North Carolina
The Race for the Thomas Wolfe Memorial
The 31st running of the Thomas Wolfe 8k winds through beautiful downtown Asheville, North Carolina, passing into the Historic Montford District and Riverside Cemetery, before finishing in front of the Thomas Wolfe House.
On a cool, sunny Autumn morning, the leaves beginning to change, 300 runners will try for their personal bests as they race 8 kilometers to benefit the Thomas Wolfe Memorial and the Asheville Track Club Shoe Fund. In addition to the awards at the end, this race is unique in that it includes two cash sprints: the 1 Mile Sprint and the 3 Mile sprint. The fastest male and female runners at each marker will receive a cash bonus of $75.00!!!
Race Series Information
The Thomas Wolfe 8k race will be part of several race series this year! It will be worth 15 points in the all new 2007 Blue Ridge Cup Race Series, the largest race series in the Southeast!
The 2007 TW8k is also one of the races in the Asheville Track Club's, 2007 Michelob Ultra Grand Prix, with over $4,000 in cash prizes to be awarded at the annual club Christmas party!
Sponsorship Information
It takes a lot of supplies to entertain a large group of runners for the morning. Race sponsorship is a great way to reach a targeted group of local, healthy minded individuals who probably want to hear about the great products and services that you have to offer.

we are Looking For Volunteers
A race doesn't happen by itself. It takes loads of dedicated people, working hard behind the scenes, to get 300 runners from the starting line to the finish line. Without the support of race volunteers and local public safety professionals, such as emergency medical technicians and police officers, this race will not happen.
That being said, WE NEED VOLUNTEERS for the Thomas Wolfe 8k.
Who is a volunteer? Anyone who wants to share in a unique race experience. You might not be a runner but love to watch races. You might be a runner who wants to support our local races so that they can keep on coming back every year. You might be the parent or spouse of someone who is running. Plus volunteering can be loads of fun!!!
Please help us out! WE NEED YOU!!!
