Event Description

Come spend your morning in the mountains with us!  Old Fort, NC is the Gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Camp Grier is a scenic venue with fun and challenging trails nestled at the base of these ancient peaks.  Enjoy views of the lake, creeks, and mountains along the course.  This is a great way to spend a late-summer day in the mountains, only 40 minutes from Hickory and 90 minutes from Charlotte. This race is supported by Relentless Running Events and Mountain Running Company.

5K Course

The 5K Course is rolling terrain, mostly gravel road and double-track trail. The course has a few challenging hills, but is very manageable even for beginners. Runners will have views of mossy creeks, green horse pasture, and a scenic lake. This race would be a great introduction to trail running. 

10K Course

This is a challenging route featuring technical single-track trails and a killer climb! The terrain varies from gravel road to rocky trail. The course starts out rolling and fast, but ultimately has runners climbing to the top of the property before a screaming descent to the finish!
