Join us for the Friends of the Lake 5K on Saturday, August 30, 2025, at the picturesque Lake Junaluska in Haywood, North Carolina! This exciting road race and walk is not just an opportunity to challenge yourself, but also a chance to give back to the community. All proceeds from this charitable event will support the ongoing maintenance and enhancement of the beautiful recreational areas at Lake Junaluska, which costs over $375,000 annually.

Participants can enjoy the stunning scenery while running or walking the 5K course, surrounded by breathtaking vistas and lush gardens. The Friends of the Lake 5K is a wonderful way to engage with fellow community members and contribute to the preservation of this beloved destination.
