This race is held each year on the Longleaf Trace (a 41 mile rails to trails path). A simple out and back course with 100% shade makes it nice and chilly.
The race is pretty small. Local running club members bring cornbread, peas and greens to supplement the post race bananas and drinks. No chip timing and the results tend to be confusing. It’s not far away and a nice excuse to run on the trace (running on the trace alone is rather boring. it’s more suited for cycling). Overall a decent small town race and enjoyable to start off the new year with.

Super flat on the Trace. No frills New Year’s day race. I ran it mainly for a change of scenery since I was off work. The Longleaf Trace is a great place to bike. It’s 40+ miles of a Rail-to-Trail pathway. Running on it is pretty boring. But in a race setting, it’s not so bad.
