Story

Old Fort, NC is a small community outside of Asheville that was hit hard from Hurricane Helene. Asheville is a place we have loved and stop in on all our trips to visit family. The devistation of the storm is still present and many families still need help. I heard about this event during my first 100k. I started listening to one of my favorite podcasts. This was during the end of my race when I knew I was going to make the decision to end it early. I told myself then that I would commit to this. It sold out fast, but I managed to get a 6 HOUR slot during the time that will challenge me the most 12am-6am.... So I will have plenty of time to conquer my fear of hiking and jogging in the trails in the dark, but this time with lots of other people. I will also be volunteering before and after my time on the course.

Help me in my effort to raise money for the Old Fort Strong Fund. This fund is dedicated to helping support community members in Old Fort who have lost their homes or had significant damage to their homes and will not receive any help to pay for rebuilding from insurance.  Due to the massive flooding that took place outside of historic flood zones, many homes did not have flood insurance to cover this cost.  In total 50+ homes were lost in McDowell County alone.  The goal is to raise $2,000,000 from this event alone to help in this cause.  All donations will go directly to helping those in need in our community.  

 

If you wish to make a donation by check or a large donation ($1,000+) via wire transfer, please email jason@campgrier.org for further details on how we can accommodate that request.
