The RUN828 Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization based in Asheville, North Carolina. Its mission is to cultivate a welcoming community in Western North Carolina through the sport of running. It achieves that by providing events, education, support, and funding.
It hosts and sponsors community running events and provides structure and administrative support for the North Carolina Mountain Trail Runners running club (NCMTR).
Run by a volunteer board of directors, the RUN828 Foundation relies on funding through NCMTR member enrollment, local business sponsors and funds received from RUN828 sponsored races, including the Hellbender 100.
