Event Description

Enjoy the best November has to offer runners in this fall-themed race celebrating the season of perfect running weather, pumpkins, colorful leaves and good friends as you run through gently rolling, well maintained, cross country trails. The Great Pumpkin 5K Trail Run benefits GO FAR (Go Out For A Run), a North Carolina-based non profit organization that provides an 8-week after-school curriculum to help coaches train children for a 5K while educating them on fitness, nutrition, and character development. GO FAR will receive 100% of proceeds.

  • Packet pickup will correspond with corral assignment start time. Runners should arrive 20 minutes prior to assigned beginning time. Stop by the tent and have your temperature checked and then head over to pick up your bib. 
  • All finishers will receive a GO FAR finisher's medal and a neck gaiter, courtesy of Novant Health.
  • Prizes will be awarded to overall winners and top 3 in age group (10 year brackets).
