The nonprofit Green Built Alliance will host the second-annual Earth Day 5K, presented by Pine Gate Renewables on April 20. 

The Earth Day 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run start and finish in the same location at The Outpost venue located right by Carrier Park in Asheville.

Participants will have the opportunity to experience a sauna and cold plunge session thanks to Drip Sauna and then grab a bite to eat at the Grey Eagle Taqueria food truck along with a cold beer provided generously by the French Broad River Brewery. There will also be live music.

The annual Earth Day 5K fundraiser is the cornerstone of Buncombe County’s journey toward 100% renewable energy by 2042, aligning with Green Built Alliance’s mission of promoting sustainable living, green building, and climate justice through community engagement, education, and partnerships.
