About the race
The Brevard Classic Races present two road race distances in downtown Brevard, North Carolina on May 29, 2027. The event is part of White Squirrel Weekend and features community-lined streets, rolling hills, shady stretches, and wide-open views with both courses starting and finishing in downtown Brevard.
Participants may choose between these distances:
- 5K | 3.1 Miles
- 12K | 7.4 Miles
Event services include professional chip timing with timing mats and a timing chip on the race bib, professional race photography available for free after the race, and overall and age-group awards. All participants receive a commemorative finisher medal, and race shirts are complimentary with registration through April 25, 2027 (a $25 fee applies after that deadline). There is a cash bonus for breaking the course record and cash prizes for the top three overall male and female finishers in the 12K for 2027.
The presenting sponsor and official health partner is UNC Health Pardee, which provides on-site medical support. A virtual race option is available; virtual participants receive mailed swag and finisher items. The race occurs alongside a free community celebration with live music, children’s activities, craft vendors, and downtown shopping. Roads remain open to traffic on some sections; portions of the course use greenways and sidewalks, and well-behaved leashed dogs and strollers are allowed where conditions permit.
