Looking for a race that’s actually different from the usual out-and-back run on city streets? Say hello to the Apple Ridge Relay presented by Hunter Subaru—a totally unique endurance challenge nestled right in the heart of apple country at the legendary Stepp’s Hillcrest Orchard in Hendersonville. Whether you’re flying solo or tagging in with a couple of friends, this event is all about options, fun, and a full-on experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Stepp’s Orchard isn’t just a pretty backdrop—it’s the star of the show. This family-owned farm is famous for its rolling hills, sweeping views, and, yes, juicy apples. It’s the perfect spot for a challenge that blends movement, nature, and a healthy dose of fresh mountain air. You’ll loop through the orchard’s rugged terrain, with each lap offering a little bit of everything: beauty, challenge, and that "whoa, I'm really doing this" feeling.

This isn’t just a race. At iDaph Events, we’re all about creating experiences—and the Apple Ridge Relay is one of the most authentic and community-centered events we’ve ever put together.

Choose Your Adventure: Solo or Team Relay

• Team Relay – Grab a friend or two and take on this challenge as a dynamic duo or a power trio. You'll alternate running loops, cheer each other on, and soak up the community vibes between legs. Bonus points for themed outfits and snack breaks.
• Solo Challenge – Want to test your endurance? Take on as many miles as you can handle solo-style. It's you vs. the course, and it’s a perfect way to challenge yourself without all the pressure of a traditional race.

Why This Event Feels Different (Because It Is)

You’re not just pounding pavement here—you’re connecting with a place, a vibe, and a whole crew of like-minded movers. It’s relaxed but energizing, tough but totally doable, and most of all, fun. Plus:

• The course is a mix of rolling hills, farm trails, and big-sky views.
• You’ll be surrounded by apple trees (and yes, there will be treats).
• Every mile is a reminder that you’re part of something bigger—nature, community, and the good kind of challenge.

Need a Little Extra Motivation?

• Studies show that people go farther and push harder in team formats (and we’d bet you’ll laugh more too).
• Solo endurance builds more than just physical strength—it’s a mental reset you didn’t know you needed.
• Fresh air, mountain vibes, and farm-to-finish-line feels? Yes, please.

At iDaph Events, we believe movement should be memorable. The Apple Ridge Relay isn’t just another box to check—it’s a story you’ll want to tell. Whether you’re in it for the miles, the memories, or just an excuse to hang out at a beautiful orchard, this one’s for you.

So what’ll it be—solo mission or team takeover? However you show up, you’ll leave with a full heart, tired legs, and probably a bag of apples.

See you at the ridge!
