Description

The 2024 Cherokee Choices Mother's Day 5K Run/Walk is offering two options to celebrate all of our wonderful Moms.

5K Run/Walk: Saturday - May 11:
We're thrilled to be back in person at the Kituwah Mound in Bryson City. Hosted by Cherokee Choices, the course has a bit of everything - road, farm road, and trails - offering a complete review of the historic site. The course is perfect for seasoned runners, first timers, and walkers.

DIY Anywhere 5K: Saturday - May 4 > Sunday - May 12th
This “Do It Yourself” event will allow participants to run or walk at any time and any location that is convenient for you. Run around the block, on trails, go down to the track (12.5 laps = 5K), or even run on a treadmill. You don't even have to live in WNC - so please invite friends and family both near and far to join the fun. While not required – you can submit your time for inclusion in the online “just for fun” results. We will collect times beginning on Saturday May 4 through Monday May 13th. Instructions on "How to submit your DIY Results" are found at the "DIY INFO" tab above.

Kituwah Mound - the Mother Town

Kituwah is known as the Mother Town of the Cherokee People.  Hundreds of years ago, Kituwah Mound held the Council House and the first fire.  Around the mound was the Cherokee village.  During the time of the Removal (1830’s), the land was taken from the Cherokee including Kituwah.   Just within the last 25 years, the land has been returned the People.  Today it is many acres of farm land, although there is no village, the People use the land for gardens, dancing ceremonies and other important events.
