Birds of a Feather Trail Trot

Thanksgiving Day, 11/28/24 at Briar Chapel in Chapel Hill, NC Directions

2 Mile Course

The 2 mile course is perfect for the whole family.  Redesigned from the 2023 1.5 mile course, the 2 mile starts with .79 mile of paved road and trail, perfect for separating the field or runners.  Following the paved section, runners will complete .71 mile of grass and non-technical double and single-track trails (the vast majority of which is smooth (with very few roots and rocks).  The course ends with .54 mile of sidewalks and paved trail heading to the finish line.  The exact distance is 2.04 miles, with an elevation gain of 134’.  The 2 mile course may be run or walked as a timed race or an untimed fun run.  The timed race starts 5 minutes before the untimed fun run.
