Leftovers Trail Run
The Leftovers Trail Run is the 2nd Annual trail race on November 28, 2026 at Briar Chapel in Chapel Hill, NC. The event offers two distances on a mixed-surface trail network that includes short sections of pavement, double-track dirt, and flowy single-track with roots, rocks, and short climbs. Course routing begins with just under half a mile of pavement and then moves into forested trails within Briar Chapel’s multi-mile system.
Distances offered:
- 5K (3.48 miles / 5.6K), 217' elevation gain
- 10K (6.23 miles / 10.02K), 380' elevation gain
Both courses are rated Overall 3 out of 5 for technical terrain, include well-marked routes, and use chip timing. Aid stations are provided (5K: one on course plus finish; 10K: three on course plus finish). Medical and volunteer support are available on course. Registration includes a vintage race tee, bib, and medal chosen from leftover stock, with a Leftovers Ribbon added to medals; remaining tees will be sold at discounts after the event.
Race day features packet pick-up, post-race food and refreshments, an awards ceremony with age-group and overall awards and leftover-themed prizes, contests with giveaway items, and free photo downloads. A free Kids Race for Treasure is held for children 11 and under with age-grouped starts and small prizes from a treasure chest. Parking is available on adjacent neighborhood streets with overflow parking at a nearby school. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
