We are the Medoc Trail Races, and we are a little weird… but not in a bad way. We pride ourselves on creating a fun atmosphere where everyone feels included. Fast or slow, young or old, newbie or a trail veteran… you are all welcome at Medoc!
The Medoc Trail Races was created in 2008 as a fun “runner-first” trail event. Our goal was to invest everything possible back into the race to give runners a one-of-a-kind experience. This includes everything from beautiful long sleeve tech shirts and custom race medals to free camping, awesome volunteers, and our annual Finisher’s Surprise. Each year we try to get just a little better, and our runner feedback help to confirm that. Our committee consists of four Rocky Mount Endurance Club members who volunteer their time to make this event work. We hope that once you try Medoc you will love it as much as we do.
The Medoc trail event is comprised of two different races: a 10-Miler, and a 5-Miler. All runners will share the same start and finish area, and will run on similar courses. The 10 Milers will get the added beauty of the mountain bike trails and the summit loop.
After a very brief stint on the park roads the remainder of the race takes place on the trails through a series of loops. Runners will then enjoy fantastic views as they run close to nature, passing over and beside waterways, up and down hills, and if you are very lucky you may even see Medoc himself. Just be careful not to make him angry or give him food.
This event is located at Medoc Mountain State Park in Hollister, North Carolina, and will challenge runners as they traverse wooded trails, many of which are single track. Come enjoy the amazing views while testing your endurance.
Stick around after the race for food, fellowship and live music from Stray Local starting at 10:00 am.

You can choose your “trail name” for your bib or take your chances and let them assign you one. I met Stinky Bottom and Mustang Sally. Let them assign you a name at your own peril. You’ll see their wonderful sense of humor throughout the race emails and website.
