NC Gardens Rivers and Trails 5K : Dunn, NC
The first NC GRT 5k fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday March 21, 2026 in Dunn, North Carolina, at 3485 Ashe Ave. The event supports NC Gardens Rivers and Trails, a community garden located along the Dunn-Erwin Rail Trail, a 5.3 mile former rail corridor that ran from Dunn to Erwin.
Proceeds from the event will help fund a greenhouse and a food forest. The organizer describes a mission to create a safe place for growing food and building community. The race is held on the third Saturday of March and takes place during a Pop-Up Market that features local vendors, live music, and food available after the race.
The listing identifies the event as a fundraiser and places it at the community garden next to the rail trail, emphasizing support for on-site growing projects. Registration and event details are provided through the race organizer. The description focuses on community gardening, fundraising for specific infrastructure, and the combination of a short road or trail run with a market atmosphere and post-race entertainment.
