5th Annual Shut In Fun Run, For the People, By the People!


The People Unite! This free fun run is a “We the People” collectively-supported run from the French Broad River to Mt. Pisgah summit, the week after the “official” Shut In. All people (and dogs) are welcome to Rise Up and lay claim to this popular trail that originally transported the Vanderbilt bourgeoisie via horse and motorcar to their luxury hunting lodge. Today the tower on Mt. Pisgah beckons, "Bring me your tired, your poor, your rejected race applications, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free!" This will be a 20 mile, 6,250 foot cumulative elevation gain run / speed hike; however if you decide to finish at Mt. Pisgah parking, without doing the 1.4 mile out and back to Pisgah summit, then it’s a mere 17.3 miles, 5,500 foot gain. Water jugs and some snacks will be placed discretely on the trail for refueling at 3 different BR Pkwy junctions around, 4-5 miles apart and at the Mt. Pisgah Parking finish. Meet at 9:45am for a 10am start at the Bent Creek River Park where Hywy 191 passes below the BR Pkwy.
