About
Pisgah 5k Run is held in Candler, North Carolina, on May 1, 2027. The event offers a single 5K (3.1 miles), starting at 9:00 AM. No elevation gain is listed for the course.
Western North Carolina roads rarely stay flat for long, so it is worth including some rolling terrain in your training rather than only running on level ground. For a first 5K, three runs a week for two months will get you to the finish; for a fast one, add a weekly set of short, hard repetitions with full recovery in between. A 9:00 AM start gives you a relaxed morning, which is useful if you are driving in: allow enough time to pick up your number and jog for ten minutes before the gun.
