Cedarock Trail Run : April 11, 2026
The 4th Annual Cedarock Trail Run is scheduled for April 11, 2026 at Cedarock Park in Burlington, North Carolina. The event offers timed solo races and a team relay that use a connected loop format over natural-surface trails and open fields.
Distances offered:
- 5K : solo runners complete Loop A
- 10K : solo runners complete Loops A and B
- Half Marathon : solo runners complete Loops A, B, C, and D
- Half Marathon Relay : teams of 2 to 4 complete Loops A, B, C, and D
Each loop begins with 0.3 to 1.1 miles on wide road, paved trail, or grassy field before transitioning to forested single-track and wider equestrian trails. Loop A includes 1.1 miles of pavement and fields before single-track; Loop B is primarily single-track; Loops C and D are mostly equestrian trails. The organizer describes the trails as minimally technical with some roots, rocks, and short steep climbs. Elevation gain by loop is: Loop A 233 ft, Loop B 174 ft, Loop C 267 ft, Loop D 222 ft. Loops must be run in succession.
Relay teams carry a timing-chipped baton and use a staging area for handoffs; each team member wears the same bib number. Race services listed with entry include limited field size, marked courses, aid stations every 1–2 miles, chip timing, post-race food and beverages, a race tee, finisher medal, awards, medical and volunteer support, free kids race for ages 11 and under, and free post-race photos.
