Cane Creek Mountain Trail Run Snow Camp, NC   Sep 12, 2026

The annual Cane Creek Mountain Trail Run features 10K or Half Marathon of seriously stellar single-track, and at the tail end of the race, an optional stair climb to the top of the 80′ observation tower, offering spectacular views from the highest peak in NC east of Greensboro. Those choosing not to climb the tower can take a real-time, time penalty ‘served’ at the aid station located at the foot of the tower.

The 10K and half marathon courses include excellent single-track, challenging climbs, beautiful scenery, potential sightings of southeastern blueberry bees, a remote feel, and an optional stair climb to the top of the 80′ observation tower at the peak of the mountain, which on a clear day will provide views as far as Winston Salem. Those choosing not to climb the tower can take a 5 minute real-time, time penalty ‘served’ at the aid station at the foot of the tower. FYI – briskly walking to the top and back down the tower takes 3-4 minutes.

Cane Creek Mountain Natural Area is a new 1000 acre park located in Snow Camp, NC (Alamance County) and is an easy drive from Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, Burlington, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem. Challenge yourself this September and come join the adventure!
