North Carolina Spring Classic & The Fest : Holly Springs, NC
The North Carolina Spring Classic is a community running event held on Main St. in downtown Holly Springs. The race offers multiple distances and ruck options and finishes on Main St. near Pace Yourself Run Company. A post-race festival in downtown Holly Springs follows the running events, with vendors, food trucks and entertainment from late morning into the afternoon.
Race distance options include:
- 5k
- 8k
- 16k
Ruck options are available for each distance. The 8k ruck serves as the qualifying ruck distance for a local ruck challenge that requires completing three specified rucked events at full distance to earn a challenge patch. Shortened routes or non-ruck participation do not qualify.
Aid and facilities are provided on course: the 5k has one aid station, the 8k has three aid station visits, and the 16k has four aid stations including water and electrolytes at Bass Lake. Portable toilets are located at the start, Jones Park, Veteran's Park, Womble Park and Bass Lake.
Packet pickup is scheduled at Pace Yourself Run Co. on the Thursday and Friday before the race; race day packet pickup is available by prior arrangement. There are no refunds; events proceed rain or shine unless conditions are dangerous. Awards are given to overall male and female winners and to age group winners in standard age categories.
