Chasing Trail is a timed event lets you choose your distance in 3 hours, 6 hours, or 12 hours. *5k option just added!* 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.
A portion of race proceeds will be donated to the McDowell Trails Association!
Their mission is to extend and maintain greenways and trails to promote a healthy lifestyle and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors in McDowell County.
