About the event

Black Mountain Recreation & Parks (BMRP) is excited to announce that it will be partnering with the Black Mountain Greenways & Trails Committee in 2023 to present the inaugural Valentine Greenway Challenge on Saturday, February 11. This new race will combine the fun and creative spirit of the annual Valentine 5K with the dynamic course and wonderful cause of the Greenway Challenge. 

The 2023 Valentine Greenway Challenge will consist of a 5K & 10K that begins by the Recreation Offices and goes to Veterans Park via The Oaks Trail. By combining resources, both organizations hope that more funds and awareness may be raised to support the Black Mountain Greenways. 

All sponsorships, donations, and 50% of registration fees will be donated back to the Black Mountain Greenways & Trails Committee. 

The 10K is two loops of the 5K course. Download Course Map below.
