Trail to Tryon Holiday Half, 10K & 5K
The Trail to Tryon Holiday Half, 10K & 5K takes place on Saturday, December 5, 2026, in New Bern, North Carolina. The event is run on roads; the name references Tryon Palace and local history rather than a trail surface.
Distances offered include:
- Trader Construction Half Marathon
- CarolinaEast 10K
- Visit New Bern 5K
Courses pass through New Bern’s downtown district, waterfront parks, and residential neighborhoods. All three distances share the same start and finish location on the south side of Tryon Palace next to the Trent River, which simplifies spectating for family and friends.
A post race ceremony in Bates Commons will feature vendors and a festive atmosphere. All finishers receive medals and age group awards in each event distance. The organizers place the event late in the calendar to function as a final run or walk of the year, and information notes options for staying overnight to enjoy New Bern’s holiday activities, food, and music.
