The Firefly Trail Run (Apr 25, 2026) : Hendersonville, NC

The event is a timed trail running weekend held at 315 Shoals Falls Rd, Hendersonville, NC. Race options include:

  • 12 Hour
  • 6 Hour
  • 5K

Registration closes Fri, Apr 24 at 11:59 PM ET. Packet pick-up is available both the day before and the day of the event. Camping and onsite lodging are available through Wag Valley Farm. The race takes place on private property reserved for the race weekend.

Course, format and amenities

The course is a roughly 3-mile singletrack loop with about 400+ feet of elevation gain per lap. Each lap passes a waterfall, mountain creeks, and a vintage event barn. The 6-hour and 12-hour options use a timed format with no set distance; participants complete as many laps as they choose during the allotted time. The 5K covers one loop.

Because the event uses a loop, aid station access is frequent and runners have multiple opportunities to see others on course. Provided amenities include stocked aid stations with hands-on support, professional timing, well-marked course, onsite parking, long-sleeve shirts (size guarantee if registered by 4/1), custom wooden finisher medals, awards, and post-race food and drinks. Awards are given to overall winners and the top 3 in each age group: 29 & under, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
