Petal to the Medal Endurance Event
Petal to the Medal is an endurance trail event held at Daniel Stowe Conservancy in Belmont, North Carolina on August 8, 2026. Participants may walk or run repeated laps on a marked 5K trail course and have up to eight hours to complete as many loops as they choose. The event emphasizes individual distance choice rather than racing for time or placement.
Registration is tiered by date. Example prices listed include $76.88 for one early period, $82.23 for a later period, $92.93 for a subsequent period, and $98.28 on event day. Registration fees include mandatory charges and items where applicable. There are no refunds unless a participant enrolled in the Refund Protection Program. Race management may cancel or modify the event due to unfavorable conditions and registration fees are not refundable in the event of cancellation due to Acts of God.
The event notes an emphasis on sustainable race practice and is inspired by Human Powered Movement. A fundraising effort for Daniel Stowe Conservancy is associated with the event; current progress shows $92.31 raised toward a $2,000 goal.
