Beach Blast 5K

The Beach Blast 5K, organized by the Uwharrie Running Club, aims to deliver a challenging and enjoyable race experience with a great course and premium amenities. Participants receive awesome goody bags, cool shirts, and ample post-race snacks. Awards are given to the top three finishers in each age category. Initially founded by Peter Asciutto, Derek Blalock, Matt Greene, Lee Allen, and Joanne Rinker at the Firehouse Cafe in Downtown Albemarle, the event continues to uphold the founders' vision of hosting a first-class race. The race now features a super soft premium shirt and medal for participants.
