About the race: The 2026 Asheville Marathon & Half takes runners on a scenic tour of Asheville’s most iconic neighborhoods, downtown streets, and riverside greenways. Both races start on College Street in the heart of downtown, quickly moving into the tree-lined streets of historic North Asheville. Runners will climb through classic neighborhoods along Charlotte Street, Griffing Boulevard, and Kimberly Avenue, passing stately homes and glimpses of the Grove Park area before winding into the rolling, Victorian-lined streets of Montford. The downtown stretch offers a lively mix of city energy and history, weaving past Wall Street, Battery Park Avenue, and Pack Square before heading toward the River Arts District.
