The Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce encourages local businesses to get involved in their Chamber Challenge 5K.

For individuals and small companies:

1) The Chamber Challenge is for everyone! Your first 5k, a personal best, a head-to-head with a friend or another small business...you're up to the challenge. 

2) Join us for trainings. You'll meet other Chamber Challenge participants while improving your skill.

3) Encourage others to join. Share the Facebook event or post using #chamberchallenge5k. 

For companies of 5 or more:

1) Show your employees you care about their health and wellness: Save $5 per person when you register 5 or more employees by April 2nd (Contact Judi Willard at [email protected] for the group rate). Plus, some health plans give wellness points for participating in a 5k.

2) Encourage employees to participate. Print a Chamber Challenge flyer to post in break rooms or send to employees.

3) Have fun with your co-workers: strike up a friendly internal competition and build camaraderie walking together and cheer on your teammates.

4) Wear company shirts to the race - build team spirit and your brand.

You might walk every step or sprint to the finish - either way we know you're up to the challenge!

Early registration rates through April 2nd. Register by April 16 to get race shirts.
