North Buncombe Kiwanis Club Disbanding – No Firecracker 5k for 2019
This appeared on the North Buncombe Kiwanis Club website on June 8, 2019:
It is with sadness that we must announce that the Kiwanis Club of North Buncombe will be disbanding, and as a result there will be no Firecracker 5K this year. We are hoping to find another local non-profit to take over running the race, so hopefully it can continue next year. Thanks to all our of sponsors, the Town of Weaverville, and the runners who have supported us over the years!

The Kiwanis Club has gifted this race to the North Buncombe High School Blackhawk Band. Plans are in the works for the 2020 race!!!
Does it have to be a local non profit to pick up the race?
Unfortunate. I ran this seven years in a row, more than any other local race
