Welcome to the annual Leftovers Trail Run, happening two days after Thanksgiving and our Birds of a Feather Trail Trot. Choose a 5K or 10K and enjoy the scenic, fun, and challenging single-track trails of Briar Chapel.
Sprawling over 900 acres and located on the south side of Chapel Hill, NC, Briar Chapel is a green community that boasts a vast 20+ mile network of forested hiking and mountain biking trails. Including a mixture of undulating double-track dirt trails and flowy single-track with plenty of roots, rocks, and short hill climbs, the 5K and 10K courses offer a super-fun challenge for both newbies and trail veterans alike. Perfect for separating the field of runners, both courses start with just under half mile of pavement. The 5K course has 217′ of elevation gain and measures 3.38 miles (5.4K). The 10K course has 378′ of elevation gain and measures 6.2 miles (10K).
Embrace the spirit of adventure with a vintage bib, tee, and medal of your choice, all leftover from past events and creatively repurposed for this budget-friendly, eco-conscious race — a true swag scramble. After your run, stick around for the post-race party featuring great food, a free kids race, and an awards ceremony packed with fun contests and plenty of giveaways.
After the race, any remaining tees will be sold at steep discounts — perfectly timed as holiday shopping ramps up.
Make a weekend of it! Kick things off with the Birds of a Feather Trail Trot on Thanksgiving Day, then burn off that holiday feast two days later at the Leftovers Trail Run. Register for both events at the same time and receive 10% off each race (select Thanksgiving weekend races during registration).
