Interested in turning Tuck Fest into your own multi-day trail running marathon? Complete the Night Trail Race, Half Marathon, Quarter Marathon and either of the 5K Trail Races to run 26.2 miles (or more) and earn the Tuck Fest Marathon Challenge Award.

THURSDAY: Night Trail Race – This four mile trail race hits the single track after the sun has gone down and the stars have come out. Charge your headlamp and get ready to conquer every last step of this race as you navigate your way through the dark.
FRIDAY:
Half Marathon Trail Race – Lace up and hit the trails during the Half Marathon Trail Race, weaving your way through a variety of trails at the USNWC. This two-lap course, running 13.1 miles along the Catawba River, will get your blood flowing and start your Tuck Fest day off on the right foot. This event is a part of the Half Marathon Series presented by La Sportiva. The top overall Male/Female finisher will each receive a $50 voucher for La Sportiva gear at Outfitters.
Twilight 5K Trail Race – Chase the setting sun as you race through the USNWC trail system in this 5k race. This Friday evening event is perfect for avid and beginner trail runners alike, offering a challenging course in a fun environment. Projected sunset time is 7:59pm. An illumination device (headlamp or similar) is highly recommended.
SATURDAY: Quarter Marathon Trail Race – Looking for a race that’s longer than a 5k but shorter than a half marathon? Look no further than the Quarter Marathon. This one-lap race will put you on the same trails as the Half Marathon, but covers roughly 6.5 miles. This trail race is perfect for training purposes or for those simply looking to enjoy a morning run through the beautiful USNWC trail system.
SUNDAY: 5K Trail Race – What better way to start the day than with a 5k? Wrap up the weekend on Sunday morning with 3.1 miles at the 5k Trail Race before taking in the final day at Tuck Fest.
