Downtown Diamond Dash 5k

Lace up for the Downtown Diamond Dash 5K, a one-of-a-kind race that blends Asheville’s vibrant city streets with the thrill of a ballpark finish. The race kicks off at HomeTrust Park, home of Asheville’s favorite hometown baseball atmosphere, before sending runners on a scenic route into the heart of Asheville.

From the start, you’ll cruise through lively streets, pass local landmarks, and soak in the energy of downtown’s shops, murals, and mountain-town charm. Whether you’re chasing a PR or enjoying a fun run with friends, the course offers the perfect mix of challenge and celebration.

But the real magic happens at the finish—runners will re-enter HomeTrust Park and cross the line on the warning track, just like the pros. Feel the excitement of a stadium finish as spectators cheer you on from the stands, making your final strides unforgettable.

Perfect for runners of all levels, the Downtown Diamond Dash is more than a race—it’s an experience. Come for the run, stay for the atmosphere, and celebrate your finish on the diamond. Sign up before September 18th to gurantee your inaugural Downtown Diamond Dash 5k t-shirt! A complimentary beverage (craft beer or Powerade) is included in registration of all runners.
