Our 2022 Mission
A Worthy Cause
100% of all funds raised will go towards helping people who find themselves in crisis. Funds will be used to supply essential needs for individuals, families, and communities across the state, the country, and the world who need assistance in rebuilding after natural and man-made disasters or who find themselves in rough living situations.
A Great Event
Fitness in Pisgah Forest...
Is there a better way to spend a Saturday morning than to run or walk the Beautiful Little River Valley?
What if there were Bluegrass music throughout the race?
And all proceeds go towards a great cause?

Prior Missions
2018 Little River Bluegrass 5K - Haiti Missions
In 2018, our race raised over $5,000.00 for ministries in Haiti. We worked with local missionaries, Fred and Joyce Wall, who had been working in Haiti for 40 years. The funds raised went toward a community building which is the life hub of the area and houses the local church, school, and community center, and towards medicine and supplies needed for health treatment.
