Yes, the weather will be cold, but after participating in the 8K or a 1 mile fun run, you’ll warm up—plus, the post-race celebrations include a chili lunch and a visit by race mascot Blaze the Blackhawk. Both begin and end at North Buncombe Middle School and feature scenic, relatively easy courses with flat, paved stretches. You can also opt to taste or enter the chili cookoff. Funds benefit the middle school. » North Buncombe Middle School, 51 N. Buncombe School Rd.; Saturday, 10 a.m.; $40 8K, $20 student & staff, $20 Fun Run; nbms8k@gmail.com; www.mychillychallenge.com
