Hosted by the Rotary Club of Madison Co., the 8th annual Fiddlin’ 5k, returning on April 30, 2022, is a local favorite held just north of Asheville. Enjoy the sweet tunes of local musicians as you run or walk on a beautiful 5k route along the Otis Duck Greenwayin in Mars Hill which provide spectacular mountain and rural views that are sure to inspire.
All Fiddlin’ 5k, funds raised are granted out to Madison County youth-based art programs. Last year, during the height of the pandemic, these funds were particularly important. While students were stuck inside in front of their computers, some of these funds were used to help fuel the Junior Appalachian Musicians (JAM). JAM is a fantastic program where youth can learn, play and appreciate Appalachian music together and with other youth and local experts. JAM has been a life-saver for many youth who have needed a creative outlet during these uncertain times. On top of that, Fiddlin’ 5k is proud to have raised funds to help obtain more supplies for the Madison County Middle School music program as well as help provide art supplies for Brush Creek Elementary School.
