The Trudge 5K & 10K
The Trudge is a community running event based at The Healing Place of New Hanover County in Wilmington, NC. Both distances start and finish at The Healing Place and follow local streets to the Greenfield Lake paver trail along East Lake Shore Drive.
The 5K follows Medical Center Drive to Wisteria Drive and Cypress Drive, then the paver trail around Greenfield Lake to a turnaround just before Greenfield Lake Amphitheater, returning along the same route. The 10K follows the same opening route, completes a full loop of Greenfield Lake on the multi-use trail, includes a short out-and-back near the connection of East and West Lake Shore Drive, and then returns to the start.
Distances offered
- 5K - 3.1 miles; starts and finishes at The Healing Place; chip timed
- 10K - 10 kilometers; starts and finishes at The Healing Place
Registration for the listed events has defined open and close dates, and entry fees are noted for each distance. Parking is available at The Healing Place, with overflow parking across the street at Delaney Radiology. A post-race anniversary celebration will include brunch items such as fruit, yogurt, and breakfast sandwiches, plus live music and community vendors.
The event commemorates the three miles clients at The Healing Place walk daily as part of recovery and supports the organization’s services, which provide food, shelter, clothing, and recovery programs at no cost to clients. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
