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.
