关于赛事
SPRING is a wonderful time of year in the state of North Carolina: the temperatures begin to warm, the days get longer, the sun shines brighter, and the TRADITION of the hometown Holly Springs "NC Spring Classic" takes place! This local event encompasses all levels of runner and has distance options of 5k, 8k and 16k.
The race starts and finishes on Main St., the perfect setting in the heart of downtown! The course takes you on a running tour through the most scenic sections of "The Springs."
2025 will be the 6th running of the NC Spring Classic, and we can't wait! Grab your friends and join us!

16 Note: From approximately miles 5.75 to 7.75, the surface is soft - a wide, compact mulch trail around BASS LAKE.
