Name: RFR Run for Resilience 5K
Start: 2024-06-23T14:30:00-04:00
Location: Carrier Park

Join us June 23 in beautiful Asheville, NC, as we run, walk, roll, and reset to support Resources for Resilience! This family-friendly fundraising event will feature fun for all ages, including a 5K race, a chance to try our Rapid Reset tools, raffles, prizes for our top fundraisers, and so much more. All are welcome, and we encourage you to come for the race and stay for a special after party hosted by our sponsors at Wrong Way River Lodge and Cabins.
Since our founding in 2017, we have offered hundreds of workshops and shared our resiliency-building tools with countless teachers, caregivers, social workers, healthcare providers, first responders, and others working on the frontlines to serve our communities. We believe that each of these connections makes a difference as we work to prevent future adversity and build resilience in people of all ages – and we know that we could not do it without the help of friends and community partners like you.
Your participation in our first annual RFR Run for Resilience 5K will support our ongoing efforts to build resilience in homes and workplaces around the globe. With your help, we can continue working to create healthier and more resilient communities for everyone!
Please note that this is an untimed, unsanctioned fundraising 5K. All race registrations and raffle ticket purchases are non-refundable. Each in-person race registration includes 1 free raffle ticket, and adults can purchase additional tickets for $5.00 each. You must be present to win, so be sure to join us after the race for fun, food, and prizes at Wrong Way River Lodge and Cabins!
