Western North Carolina Flyathlon

Description: This is an up and back run with the turnaround at the Pulliam Creek intersection and the start on site at the Green River Ranch. Most importantly, the Western North Carolina Flyathlon is a fundraising event for coldwater conservation projects, with a focus on the Western Appalachian brook trout. We will be raising money through our 501(c)(3) organization, Running Rivers. Since 2014, our Flyathlon races have raised more than $500,000 for native trout related projects completed through our diverse conservation partners, including Iowa Trout Unlimited, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Colorado Trout Unlimited, the Western Native Trout Initiative, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the National Park Service, and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. We look forward to expanding our impact and energy to Western North Carolina!
