Saturday September 4th - The Henderson County Chamber of Commerce Hosts
Pardee Apple Festival 8K Race, Chick-fil-A Mini Moo Mile and Team Challenge
The Apple Festival Race is Henderson County’s oldest running race with roots back to the mid-1970’s. The course has changed locations and distances over the years, but has been an 8K for at least the past five years. Each year, hundreds of runners follow the 8K course on the scenic roads of Hendersonville’s historic west side neighborhoods and Laurel Park. It starts and finishes on Pardee’s main hospital campus. The Chick-fil-A Mini Moo mile is for area youth and walkers of all ages. Four person teams can register for the Team Challenge. Teams of four participate with the individual 8K runners. Having a group to train with helps many runners stay motivated, and the Team Challenge is a fun way to compete and celebrate with your fellow team members.
