Lake Junaluska cancels 5K

Lake Junaluska’s Friends of the Lake 5K will not take place in 2020. 

Originally scheduled for Easter weekend, the popular race was rescheduled for Labor Day but ultimately had to be canceled due to continued restrictions on group gatherings. 

“We are disappointed to not have the event this year, but we believe it is the best decision for the safety of our participants and staff,” said Rebecca Mathis, director of advancement at Lake Junaluska.

People who pre-registered for the event can contact Melissa Aldridge regarding their registration fee at 828.454.6680 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The 2021 event is scheduled for Saturday, April 3.
