Zen Squirrel Trail Run

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

2 Mile Course

The 2-mile run is perfect for families with kids (aged 6+) and for those looking to get a small taste of trail running. The 2 mile course starts with .4 mile of wide-open pavement, followed by 2.0 miles of double and single-track.  The exact distance is 2.1 miles, with an elevation gain of 180’.  While there are some hills, rocks, and roots along the course, the majority of the terrain is less technical than the 5 and 10-mile race courses.
