    Experience the 6th Annual Jump Off Rock Half Marathon & 10K, presented by Hunter Subaru and UNC Health Pardee. This springtime race offers a scenic and fast course that winds through some of the most beautiful areas of Hendersonville!

    The Half Marathon starts at the iconic Jump Off Rock in Laurel Park, with sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and colorful spring blooms. Runners then follow a gently downhill, USATF-certified course into the heart of downtown Hendersonville—known as one of the most picturesque half marathons in the Southeast.

    The 10K begins at the Hendersonville Family YMCA and joins the half marathon route partway through. This course is mostly flat with a few gentle rollers, making it great for all abilities.

    Both races finish on Main Street in Historic Downtown Hendersonville, where runners will be welcomed with lively finish line festivities and small-town charm.

    Come see why this race is more than just a run—it’s a visual journey and a community celebration.

    Both races are USATF Sanctioned AND Certified!

    SOUTH CAROLINA TRAIL RUNNERS

    Runners and families are invited to enjoy the great outdoors on the doorstep of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northwest South Carolina. The scenic 5k course is a great for novice trail runners and experienced racers alike. The single track trails meander along and across scenic Carrick Creek from the nature center as you

    climb toward Pinnacle Mountain. After a short climb, the 5k runners will race downhill, looping back toward the start finish line.

    Up for more of a challenge? The 15k race course, which is currently closer to a17K, will test the most seasoned trail runners. It follows the same route as the 5k for the first two miles. However, the 15k course climbs nearly 2000 feet over the first 5 miles. You will struggle to make it over several gaps and reach the race’s high point of Pinnacle Mountain. As you descend you will be rewarded with spectacular views from Bald Rock and other overlooks. More stream crossings, gnarly roots and jagged rocks will keep you on your toes as you wind your way back down the valley toward the finish. All racers will welcome the sight of the finish line where there will be plenty of food and ice cold drinks to replenish your body after a tough run. And, receive our super soft shirts and finishers awards will be provided to all runners.
