Event overview

The Trail to Tryon Holiday Half, 10K & 5K takes place on Saturday, December 6, 2025 in New Bern, NC (529 S. Front Street, 28562). The event offers three road race distances:

  • Half Marathon (Trader Construction Half Marathon)
  • 10K (CarolinaEast 10K)
  • 5K (Chad Sittig Agency 5K)

All three distances use the same start and finish location, and all finishers will receive medals. Age group awards are distributed across each distance.

Course and post-race information

The name references Tryon Palace and New Bern’s colonial history; the event is a road race rather than a trail event. Courses pass through New Bern’s downtown district, waterfront parks, and residential neighborhoods, with the start/finish located near Tryon Palace and the Trent River. A post-race ceremony will be held in Bates Commons (behind the NC History Center) and will include vendors. Food, soft drinks, and beer will be served, and awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers in each age category. Sponsors and host organizations are listed by the organizer.
