10K Open for individuals
The Mission 100K takes runners through the scenic hardwood forest in Brown’s Creek Nature Park in Elizabethtown, NC.
A five-minute walk from the camp and start line, athletes can access the Cape Fear Vineyard and Distillery. Samples and specials await our participants, in addition to cottages for those who don’t want to camp. Athletes and spectators will be able to eat lunch or dinner at the Cape Fear Vineyard and Distillery.
Why the Space Theme?
The Brown in Brown’s Creek isn’t just on the park and the adjacent airport, it’s also painted on a mural in downtown Elizabethtown, paying homage to Bladen County’s living legend, NASA Astronaut Curtis Brown Jr. ‘”Curt”. A decorated United States Air Force colonel, Brown spent 57 days in space on six successful space shuttle missions which he piloted or commanded. We pay homage to his pursuit to press the boundaries of the universe, by encouraging you to push your boundaries in a setting that’s out of this world.
The race is produced in partnership with Go Time Events and Without Limits. The same duo that brings you our region’s most popular trail running events like the Carolina Beach Trail Half Marathon, Southern Tour Ultra, Shakori 40 and the Copperhead Beer Relay.
