Outdoor enthusiasts can look forward to a two-day WNC OutdoorAthlon this fall in Macon County, Oct. 8-9. Activities include a triathlon, 5k, rock-climbing wall, disc-golf clinics, paddling demos and more.

The slogan is “Live, Love, and Learn about the Mountains of North Carolina.” This family friendly event will feature free clinics for all things outdoors — from fly-fishing sessions with some of the area’s most respected guides, to kayak demos and a rock-climbing wall.

The WNC OutdoorAthlon will feature an interactive kids zone and competitive Kid’s Duathlon for little adventures, ages 6-12.
