17th Annual Chimney Rock 5-ish Miles Trail Race!

Check in Starts at 8:00 am

Race starts at 9:00am

Course Info: Don’t be fooled by the relatively short distance of this race.  This great 5 Miler manages to pack in all forms of trail running to test even the most seasoned trail junkies.  On the single track course (map) you will encounter rocks, gnarly roots, rolling hills, stream crossings, a few healthy climbs, and some speedy rocky downhill descents!  Course marshals will be stationed throughout the race, in addition to the well-marked trail, to provide assistance and direction.  A water stop will also be available, and you will pass there twice at Miles 1.5 and 4.

Please note that in order to clear the trails in a timely fashion, we will have a 50 minute time cutoff for the first loop of the course. Participants who do not complete the first loop in 50 minutes will be directed straight to the finish and skip the second loop.

Race Day:  Participants can park at Chimney Rock Park parking lot off Chimney Rock Road, with the registration area at the end of the lot near the park bathrooms.  Be sure to check in and collect your bib,  start/finish area, which is a short walk down the paved pathway toward the playground.   

Post-Race Pizza: Post-race party will be held at Chimney Rock Inn. Join us after the race for a post-race celebration!

***The pre-race briefing will occur via E-Mail.  A short race announcement will be held prior to the race start****
