Hobby Trails To You is turning 10!
Join us for the 10th anniversary of Hobby Trails, a fun and challenging 5K/10K trail race.
What: Cross country style start that quickly funnels into the woods of Hobby Park. Single track trail 5K and 10K course filled with roots, rocks, a few inclines, declines, a smattering of poison ivy and an occasional biker or snake (it’s in the woods of NC, after all).
Who: Well, you and your running friends, and the fine folks from TCTC who know how to put on a race.
When: August 8 at 7:55am for the 5K and 8:00am for the 10K. RACES WILL START ON TIME!
Where: Hobby Park - 2301 West Clemmonsville Road, W-S, NC (36.0304° N, 80.3029° W to be really precise)
Why: There’s lots of shade. Show how bad-a** you as you race through an undulating, technical single track course a few miles outside the city of Winston-Salem. Then proudly wear your tri-blend race shirt (it’s so soft, you might opt to sleep in it). Register by the end of July to guarantee your shirt and size.
The race is capped at 200 participants.

From Endurance Grid
This race spans more than one sport — here’s a guide to each, so you can understand what’s involved and decide if it’s the right fit. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
Running off-road — dirt, singletrack, and mountain paths — from 5Ks to ultras. The terrain, not the pace, is the whole point.
