Come out and Support Cliffs of the Neuse State Park's 5th spring trail race! We will have 4ish and 8ish mile distances as well as a 4ish mile hike option. Also new for 2025 a 50k ULTRA distance! 

 

START/FINISH AREA AT THE BIG PICNIC SHELTER WITH REAL PARKING AND REAL BATHROOMS!

 

The course will start and finish at the big picnic shelter by the lake parking lot. There will be a small amount of gravel road but the 4ish mile loop will be mostly beautiful single and double track. The curvy trails include less stairs, significant elevation change, bridges, and views of the river and lake. The 8ish mile race will be a NEW course! Both will include a water station around the 2 mile mark and the 8 will pass it again around 6 miles. All courses will be marked and all runs will be timed. 

 

Everyone will park in the large lot by the lake.

50k will start at 9:00a check in 8:00a to 8:45a
