GET INSPIRED & DO SOMETHING GREAT!

Our mission is to continuously inspire our friends, fans and followers to dream, train and race with us, no matter their ability or fitness level. We welcome all people regardless of ability, race, color, ethnicity or faith.

It is important to us to live life fully by acknowledging and accepting the beautiful body we have been given to move with each and every day.

Established in 2011, iDaph Events brings unique events to Western North Carolina. We design, promote and produce memorable cycling, running and multi-sport events that we would also want to experience and participate in. We do this first by creating a large canvas of an event and then zooming in on all the super important details. We not only work on our own event creations, but we also help other community events in our region to grow meaningful and profitable events.

Our services include event design and creation, custom-designed marketing plans, social media promotions, on-site and online registration management, live timing/finish line/results, overseeing and implementing event logistics and more! We want every participant to have an unforgettable and enjoyable experience at our events and we go out of our way to make each event tailored for the participants, special and unique.

The iDaph Events team is passionate about consistently practicing daily healthy living. Exercising, training, racing, properly fueling our bodies and healthy living is part of our motivation and our daily routine. We are active participants in regional training opportunities and sporting events. This experience allows us to see first-hand the value from a participant point of view when committing to a goal and investing the time and energy at an event.

Our mission is to continuously inspire our friends, fans and followers to dream, train and race with us, no matter their ability or fitness level. It is important to us to live life fully by acknowledging and accepting the beautiful body we have been given to move with each and every day. We encourage each of you to reach towards your own magnificent movement potential each day. Follow and join along at our upcoming events and be part of the unique, world-class experiences we provide at iDaph Events.

“Your events are hands down some of the best I’ve participated in and I’m closing in on 150 races over the last 9 years. Your swag is phenomenal. The opportunity to experience Biltmore Estate is one of a kind. You have always done right by your participants even when mother nature has conspired against all of us.” -Becky I.

“I look forward to this race every year to kick off the fall racing season. Usually the temps have just dropped and you get a scenic route around Biltmore. Use this race to test your summer training and see how all those hot miles paid off!” –Brandon L., 2016 Asheville Off-Road Series Participant

“We work with a lot of different event directors and I can honestly say that your events are the most organized events we work. We heard numerous positive comments from many of the participants. Everything seem to flow really smooth. We greatly enjoy working with you and your staff. Cheers!” –Neal Boyd, Charlotte Sports Timing & Charlotte Sports Cycling

“Thanks to everyone who took part in making this year’s event a success! I was incredibly impressed with the organization of the event, the friendliness and support by all of the volunteers, and the amazing prizes for winners! Rounding the corner and having the Biltmore mansion in front of me in that amazing morning light is a memory I will cherish forever. And standing on that podium with my Pure Velo Racing teammates for the first time ever is another memory I will cherish. THANK YOU iDaph Events for making it all possible!” –Eliz H., 2016 Asheville Off-Road Series Participant
