Zen Squirrel Trail Run

Sat March 22, 2025 at Briar Chapel in Chapel Hill, NC Directions

10 Mile Course

The one-loop 10-mile course is AWESOME and includes all the terrain of the 5-mile course as well as many of the newer trails in the western portion of the neighborhood.  These newer sections have some steep hill climbs with plenty of rock and filled sections.  In addition to the challenge of the added length and elevation, the 10-mile course has more technical terrain than the 5-mile course. The exact distance of the 10-mile course is 10.2 miles, with an elevation gain of 821’.
