Event Description

 The Elkin 5K is another great race in Junction 311's PopUp Race Series; real, in-person, live, and chip-timed races designed to get us ALL  back to racing. Each PopUp Race will have something to make it special, the venue, distance, scoring, or prizes. Something new and different will "PopUp" for each race. This one features the beautiful Elkin & Alleghany Rail Trail. It starts and finishes at the Elkin Municipal Park with a course that is relatively flat and features a smooth hard-pack gravel trail with great views of Big Elkin Creek.  

And we have partnered with Angry Troll Brewing so everyone gets a tasty craft beer after finishing the race!

Your results will be emailed and/or texted to you immediately. Your actual race placement will be available online later in the day once all participants have completed the course and we have done all the necessary age and gender grading.

Each race will meet or exceed all local, state, and CDC guidelines for COVID-19 safety. Currently, no more than 50 runners on-site at any time and at least 6 feet social distancing during any wait times. Runners will have a designated "rolling wave" start window. You will show up, receive your bib, and start within your rolling wave window as soon as you are ready. Once you are done, you will have cold bottled water available and then you will head off for the rest of your day!

Runners are highly recommended to bring their own hydration as there will be no water stops on the course. Water bottles will be available for finishers.
