Cape Fear Holiday Run - Lillington, NC

The Cape Fear Holiday Run is a timed trail running event held at Cape Fear Shiner Park in Lillington, North Carolina, organized by Cape Fear 24 Hour. The course is a 1.17-mile loop that combines a trail section with a short paved segment. Participants complete laps on the loop during their chosen timed event.

Timed options include 9-hour, 6-hour, and 3-hour races. One on-course aid station supplies water, Gatorade, soft drinks, and a variety of snacks. The event is cup-less to reduce waste; participants are asked to bring reusable cups, handheld bottles, or hydration packs, and a limited number of disposable cups will be available.

There is parking and space for personal aid stations near the start/finish area. Electronic timing is provided by Clockwork Race Timing. Porta-potties will be available on site in 2026; permanent restroom facilities are planned for the future.

All finishers receive a finisher's medal. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each timed event, plus a special award for the participant showing the most holiday spirit. All proceeds are donated to the Harnett Food Pantry. Registrations and donations are non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-deferrable. Registrations submitted by November 10, 2026 are guaranteed a T-shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
