Get outside, enjoy nature, and run with friends in this relay honoring Beer City. Runners can choose to knock out a simple 5k or 10k on their own or pull together a group to compete in the relay. Teams of four will complete the 5k course once per person, relay-style, while teams of two will complete the 5k course twice each. “We’re thrilled to be part of Asheville Beer Week 2026, a celebration of the craft, the culture, and the people who make this mountain town one of a kind,” notes Leslie Grotenhuis, owner of Kick It Management. “Hosting the event again this year is New Belgium Brewing. The brewery sits on the banks of the French Broad River and the relay is a lovely flat course along those banks.” A portion of each entry fee will be donated to Consider Haiti, which promotes the health and welfare of children in Haiti. » New Belgium Brewing, 21 Craven St; Saturday, 9 a.m.; $50+; www.kickitevents.com/beer-city-relay
