No pavement. No traffic. Just awesome.
The South of the Mountain Trail Run 5K course is located entirely on the 260 acres of South Mountain Christian Camp in Bostic, NC. The course takes runners on one continuous loop through a mix of gravel roads, grassy shorelines, and wide dirt trails on the south side of Cherry Mountain.
Encompassing rolling hills, wooded paths, and scenic views along the lake, the South of the Mountain Trail Run offers a wide variety of challenges for runners and walkers of all skill levels in one of the most beautiful settings around. Fall colors usually peak around this time of year, so be prepared for some spectacular views on your run, giving new meaning to the term “breathtaking.”
The start and finish lines are located just outside the Joy Center. We’ll start out on a wide gravel road so the crowd can thin out a little before things narrow down on the trails. To finish, you’ll emerge from the woods onto the gravel road once again, then run across the dam of the fishing pond to the finish line. This presents great photo ops for your family and friends.
There will be plenty to keep family & friends entertained during the race. The game room will be open with foosball, ping pong, and pool table available. The there will be basketballs available in the gym, and bean bag toss boards as well. We also offer structured, supervised activities for school-age kids during the race, so both parents can run if they want.
After the race, drinks and snacks will be available for all the racers. We’ll have a free fun run for any kids who want to participate. Then the award presentations will take place in the gym with plenty of seating for everyone.
Trophies will be awarded to the top three male finishers, top three female finishers, and top male and female masters (40 and older). In addition, medals will be presented to the top three male and female finishers in 12 different age categories.
All proceeds benefit South Mountain Christian Camp, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. South Mountain provides summer camp programs for children and youth in which no child is ever denied the opportunity to attend camp for financial reasons.
