People are buzzing about the Signature Series! Why? Because when you complete 6 races, you just feel good about yourself. 🙌

Oh, and there’s that awesome Signature Series medal. 🏅

We’ve got six races left this year, so everyone can still do it! Just complete six iDaph Signature races (any distance) and earn yours.

Six races. One awesome medal. A whole lot to feel good about.

This. Is. AMAZING. 🙌

This year, more than 200 participants completed the Appalachian Trilogy by taking on three signature iDaph half marathons, and for the first time ever, the series completely SOLD OUT!

And some of you aren’t stopping there…

More than 50 participants are adding a FOURTH half marathon this October!

The drive, dedication, perseverance, and commitment behind this accomplishment is incredible. Mile after mile, race after race, you kept showing up. We are so inspired by every single person who took on this challenge.

Congratulations, Appalachian Trilogy finishers! What an awesome accomplishment.

We can’t wait to see you out there! 💙

Back-to-school season is here, and our team was just talking about how much that shift can change our running routines.

For some of us, the school-year schedule brings structure and makes it easier to find a rhythm. For others, it means missing those more flexible summer days when fitting in a run felt a little simpler.

What's your take? How does the school year affect your running schedule? Do you love getting back into a routine, or are you already missing summer freedom?

It’s hard not to smile when you’re running somewhere this beautiful. 🌲😁

Don’t get us wrong. The terrain is rugged. The hills are challenging. And it’ll push your legs to the max. But when you’re cruising through the trails of DuPont State Forest, surrounded by incredible scenery and a whole community out there doing it with you… that smile has a way of showing anyway.

The Treetops Trail Race benefiting Friends of DuPont Forest returns October 17, 2026, and with only 300 spots available, this one stays small, special, and full of good trail vibes.

Price increase Sunday night at midnight, so snag your spot before it’s gone!

This photo takes me back to the summer of 2020, when we launched the first Hendersonville Triathlon using time trial and wave staggered starts, masks, and an entirely new way of producing events.

When I stepped away from everyone and removed my mask to speak with WLOS, I explained how we were following the rules while helping people race again. What the photo does not show is how afraid I was that iDaph might not survive.

Chapter Eight of Built on Miles is called When Signature Events Emerged.

This chapter shares how I pared iDaph down to its smallest possible version, returned to working from home, and learned to create within a world none of us recognized. It also tells how the Pop Up 5Ks, Hendersonville Triathlon, Black Bear, Jump Off Rock, the downtown Asheville Marathon and Half, RAD, and the Appalachian Trilogy emerged from that period.

More than anything, it is about five lessons that changed how I viewed events, community, and my role in bringing people together.

I could not recreate the world we had lost. I had to create within the world we had.

The races that built iDaph.

Fifteen years of producing great events did not happen overnight.

Before the races you know today, there were kids crawling through obstacles, cyclists pushing through time trials, dogs beside their people at start lines, first time triathletes learning what multisport was all about and some seriously memorable days on the roads, trails and mountains of WNC.

These races were all part of our beginning:

GNAR, the Gnarliest Kids Adventure Race
Carolina Kids Multisport Series
Dig the Du
Lung Buster Time Trial Series
Run for the Paws
Pisgah Omnium
Collier Lilly Ride
Asheville Off Road Series
LPC Retro Triathlon
Appalachian Kids Triathlon

If those names take you back, then you have been with us for a while.

Every one of these events has now reached its final finish line. We wish they could all still exist, but races depend on venues, hosts, permits, safety, local approvals, interest and participation plus access to roads and trails. Those things change, and sometimes even a loved event has to end.

But an event ending does not erase what it built.

Each of these races taught us something about safety, logistics, course design, partnerships and taking care of our participants. They are part of iDaph’s roots and created the foundation for the events we produce today.

The iDaph you know today was built one start line at a time.

Scroll through the memories. Which of these events did you participate in, and which one do you miss the most? We would love to hear your favorite memory.
