- **Event Name**: 3rd Annual Western North Carolina Flyathlon
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: After a short break recovering from Hurricane Helene, the Western North Carolina Flyathlon is back to help the region's fishery recovery!About this EventHeld in the Green River Game Lands near Salida, NC, this Flyathlon is designed to bring the outdoor enthusiast together with the goal of protecting / improving watersheds like the Green River from the increase of pollution and development in the area and natural disasters like the recent Hurricane Helene. This river provides habitat for our unique native brookies but public access is a constant battle, and this is one way we can protect this area while running, drinking delicious beer, and catching a few fish friends.On Thursday night, we gather at New Belgium Brewing Co. in Asheville NC to share fine craft beers and go over the rules. Camping will be available near the start line on Friday and Saturday nights of race weekend and we strongly encourage everyone to come and stay for the weekend! On Friday night, we will have a series of leisure sports games with prizes including time deductions for Saturday's main event.Bright and early Saturday morning, we organize at the Green River Ranch which conveniently sits at the trailhead of the Green River Cove trail. A few words are spoken, a crappy domestic beer is sacrificed, and then flyathletes are off.With two very distinct sections of river there are two very distinct approaches to fishing. Stockers will eat about anything with an OK drift, especially your favorite “junk” flies (squirmy worms, egg patterns, mop flies). Once you hit the wild water these spooky guys key into more natural selections, a damned good drift and your typical WNC wild trout flies (Parachute Purple Haze, stoneflies, BWOs and caddis imitations.)After the race is over, the real fun begins back at the Green River Ranch. Fine New Belgium craft beers compliment a delicious meal. Awards are presented to the top finishers and fundraisers, and a grand champion is crowned following a corn hole / BB rifle cage match throw down…We hope you will join us this coming year on the Green River!As any of you familiar with spring in Western North Carolina can attest, the weather at this time of year is unpredictable, the fish aren’t terribly bright, and the after-party will be world class.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/87d54bf0-f9f2-11f0-9306-7b2d5c3f25d3-rimg-w555-h740-dc8f7a46-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/87fb98a0-f9f2-11f0-953c-0b4fd2fcffda-rimg-w555-h740-dc8d614b-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/881dc6a0-f9f2-11f0-953c-0b4fd2fcffda-rimg-w987-h740-dc92a4c4-gmir.jpg

                "description": "The Flyathlon is a multi-sport event that integrates three activities that are surging in popularity; trailrunning, fly fishing, and craft beer. While many enjoy these activities independently, we have found over the years that putting them together is even more enjoyable. Simply put, many of the best and most beautiful places to fish are way back in the woods, and the quickest way to get back to these remote places to maximize fishing time is to trail run. And once you have run back from that mountain lake or stream (or while you are there…), all of that effort is rewarded with high quality, local craft beer.​Giving Back: The overwhelming majority of funds raised by our Flyathletes through each Flyathlon event are specifically targeted towards habitat improvement and reclamation projects benefitting the fish species native to the greater watershed in which the events are held.  We get this important work done by collaborating with our many conservation partners, which include Federal agencies (e.g. National Park Service, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service), State agencies (e.g. Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Iowa Department of Natural Resources), and other 501(c)(3) organizations (e.g. Western Native Trout Initiative, Trout Unlimited).Inclusivity: The Flyathlon is designed to be largely inclusive as opposed to truly competitive.  To the newbie, both the sports of trail running and fly fishing (and even craft beer, for that matter) can seem very exclusive and even pretentious, and this perception limits their desire to engage in these outdoor activities. The Flyathlon seeks to break down those barriers through accessible events that create positive and fishy outdoor experiences and memories. It is our hope that through this type of exposure, we can create new outdoor advocates, new river warriors.Community Involvement: The Flyathlon actively seeks out local community involvement in our events, and explicitly encourages race participants to spend additional time and money in the host region after each event.Responsible Recreation: The Flyathlon is designed specifically to promote responsible fishing practices and trail habits. On the fishing side of the event, all events are 100% catch-and-release fishing using only fishing methods approved for that specific area. On the trail running side of the event, race rules explicitly highlight proper trail etiquette (e.g. no short-cutting, Leave No Trace principles).  Additionally, we firmly believe that recreationists need to be a part of the solution for stewardship of our natural resources, and that the best way to ensure the preservation, protection, and maintenance of our irreplaceable lands, waters, and native species is to develop and foster the citizen stewards who will stand up in their defense!"
