The Southcliff Black & Blue Classic returns to the Western North Carolina running calendar on Saturday, October 27 at 11:00 am. Runners who have raced at Southcliff before can expect much of the same as past years, with unique courses on private roads and trails, incredibly fall foliage, amazing views, a post-race that includes lunch and beer, and the most generous awards in the area. Southcliff is located approximately 5 miles from Downtown Asheville on Highway 74.
