Mountaineer 10 Miler & Double Down Challenge

The Mountaineer 10 Miler is a June race held in Boone, North Carolina, with its base at Appalachian State University's Kidd Brewer Stadium. Participants begin and conclude their runs at the stadium, choosing from three options: a 4-mile route, the 10-mile race, or the 14-mile Double Down Challenge. The event is in its early stages and utilizes Boone as its setting, deviating from a typical point-to-point course outside the town. The longer challenge presents a unique aspect, allowing runners to extend beyond the standard 10-miler while still finishing at the same stadium. Registration begins at $40, and the race is located at 270 Stadium Drive in Boone.
