Trail to Tryon Holiday Half, 10K & 5K
The Trail to Tryon Holiday Half, 10K & 5K is a road race held in New Bern, North Carolina on December 5, 2026. The event offers three distances and uses the same start and finish location for all races, located on the south side of Tryon Palace next to the Trent River. Organizers position the event near the end of the calendar as a final run or walk of the year.
Courses pass through New Bern’s downtown district, waterfront parks, and residential neighborhoods, reflecting the town’s historic association with Tryon Palace. A post-race ceremony at Bates Commons includes vendors and a festive atmosphere for participants and spectators. All finishers receive medals and age group awards distributed across all three event distances.
Practical details available from the organizer note the event takes place in New Bern and that the start/finish area is adjacent to Tryon Palace. The format of having identical start and finish points for each race is intended to make it convenient for family and friends to watch multiple events.
