Ahhhh … Youth

mt-mitchell-marathonThis past weekend marked the 11th anniversary of the Mt. Mitchell Marathon and Challenge — your choice of a 26 or 40 miles race to the Parkway or the top of Mt. Mitchell from the town of Black Mountain. Many of the challengers were young and the top place finishers were between the ages of 23 and 35. But let’s not forget to recognize the oldest finisher at the age of 70.

The Parkway and this particular chain of the Appalachians — the Blacks — will always remain an opportunity to be enjoyed by all ages.

Michael Flynn, writer for the Asheville Citizen Times, shares his journey as participant and competitor.
