Afton Village - 5401 Village Drive NW Concord, NC US 28027

WHO: Anyone looking for a Running, Rucking, or Walking challenge.

F3 Afton is excited to announce that we will be hosting the 7th Annual Mount Afton Challenge. Join us for this great cause and find out who can complete the most 1 mile laps in the Runner and Rucker divisions and earn the title… Mount Afton G.O.A.T.

This year's event is a fundraiser for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention services, which has impacted the Afton AO in a very personal way over the past year and obviously many more in our community at large. Thru the F3 Foundation, F3 Afton will donate funds raised for this event to the Cabarrus County Chapter of NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Registration will not commit you to continuous running/rucking for the entire 2 hours. The challenge is simply you vs. you… what you can do! There will be prizes for the runners and ruckers with the most distance covered.

Following the event: 10am – until… The Wine Room in Afton Village will be open early to serve food and drinks for our participants, volunteers, and supporters as we conclude the event.
