About the race
The Twilight Trail 5K in Hendersonville, North Carolina takes place on August 21, 2027. Registration opens January 7, 2027. The event uses a single-loop course that is also used for the Kanuga Triathlon run.
The course mixes smooth single-track, double-track, forest road, and a few short paved sections, with gentle elevation changes. The route is scenic and shaded and is clearly marked with GPS-supported navigation.
Event services include a free commemorative shirt for registrations completed by July 12 (entry is $25 after that date), a custom finisher medal for the first 300 registrants, professional chip timing using the MyLaps system, timing chips on the back of race bibs, timing mats, and age group awards. A virtual race option is available; virtual entrants receive race shirt and finisher item by mail when offered.
Operational and entry policies note that dogs and strollers are not permitted on course. Registrants may transfer to the virtual event, request a deferral up to 15 days before the race (deferral fee for the 5K is $15), or change race distance in line with event rules. Transfers between participants are prohibited and registrations are non-refundable. The event operates rain or shine unless conditions are dangerous.
The race supports the iDream Athletes Foundation. On-site lodging and primitive camping are offered at Kanuga Inn and other on-site options at participant rates, and the event can be combined with the Kanuga Trail & Tri Challenge for additional finisher items.
