——————————————————

Chasing Trail is a timed event lets you choose your distance in 3 hours, 6 hours, or 12 hours – or join for the 5k! The race starts and finishes in the Gateway Trailhead parking lot in Old Fort, NC.

The course is a ~3.2 mile loop with approximately 380ft of elevation gain. This trail system is very approachable for beginner trail runners, while still providing a challenge as you add more and more loops.

Runners must complete at least 1 loop before the end of their time limit to be a finisher. Only loops completed within your time limit will be counted towards your total. 5k runners complete 1 loop. Race fuel and hydration will be provided at the start/finish race base. Crews are welcome in the Gateway Trailhead parking lot.

This event is owned and managed by Kick It Event Management.
