Course Description
We will be starting out on pavement, for spacing.
The Course here at Morow Mountains State Park has a little bit of everything. From hard packed earth, to very rocky sections of trail. Be prepared to duck under low hanging limbs and jump downed trees on the trail. The trail is mostly single track and there are some sections of serious elevation gains on the course.
Morrow Mountain is part of the Uwahrrie Mountain range. The Uwahrrie mountains are believed to be some of the oldest mountains in the world.
* Note: The bridge crossing start of the long course last year has been removed. All courses will run the first 4 miles together.
Runner Bib pickup at the
