Volunteer to Build a New Campsite on the French Broad Paddle Trail

Come help us add a new campsite to the French Broad Paddle Trail! We’re looking to class up the French Broad with a new campsite at the FB’s confluence with Mud Creek. We’ll need help mowing grass, weed-eating, back-hoe driving, outhouse, stair, and picnic table building, as well as invasive species removal.

2017 3rd Annual AppleBear 5K & Color Run

REGISTER NOW! Discounted registration until Monday, Sept. 4th!

This event will have two different “races” on Saturday, October 14th… a 5K & a Color Run.

The first race is a 5K that will be timed and USATF certified. The course starts in Patton Park and traverses the beautiful Oklawaha Greenway, a well maintained, paved trail that is 90% shaded with less than 40′ of elevation change. This is a great course for a leisurely fall run, or setting a personal record. There will be 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place awards for men and women race winners in each of the seven age brackets: 1-12, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+.

The second race is our 1-mile Color Run. This race is a little over a mile in length, and is also paved and shaded. The Color Run is not timed and will be fun for all, with great music and lots of color.
