10 mile trail race organized by the Hillsborough Running Club.
Course Highlights
1. Race will start and finish on the Historic Occoneechee Speedway Track
2. Runners will then run on the beautiful Riverwalk (part of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail), past the Occaneechi Indian Village, and through Gold Park
3. The middle third of this race will take you around and up to the top of Occoneechee Mountain, the highest point in Orange County. 3.52 miles are paved (from mile 1.31 to 3.04 heading out, and the same section heading back). The middle 3.5 mile is single track around the mountain (rise to the peak and back is gravel access road).

In January, this could be a tricky trail (if you are unfamiliar with the trail, please take a look at the pictures below). There will be 700ft of elevation gain, almost all of which is in the middle third, and the trail has rocks, roots, steps, mud, everything you're looking for in a great trail course.
We plan to provide our fabulous beef chili (Hoof Beat Farm, Hillsborough) and veggie chili, bread, and coffee at the finish line.
Proceeds from the event: HRC is a non profit organization, so all proceeds will go back to local charities and organizations
