Event Description

Please join us for the inaugural Dry Pond 5k/10K race presented by Denver Running Company, LLC. 

A short bit of history - Denver was previously called Dry Pond; named for the pond at the intersection of NC 16 Business and Campground Road that dried up during the warmer months.  Today Denver sits on the west shores of Lake Norman, a very large lake created in 1962 when construction of the Cowans Ford Dam across the Catawba River was completed. *Information gathered from denvernc.com*

The 5k and 10K course is along McConnell Road and Webbs Chapel Church Road where you will get to experience the beauty of the fall leaves and a small piece of Lake Norman. The course is moderately hilly with only small elevation gains and can be enjoyed by runners of all levels.
