Join us on Saturday, October 10th from 9:00am - 1:00pm in Pittsboro, North Carolina!
This 5K trail run will be held at Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge, a sanctuary providing lifelong care to farm animals rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment. In this officially timed race, you will make three loops on gravel roads that wind through the beautiful fields and forests of our sanctuary. Our rescued goats, sheep, cows, ducks, geese and chickens will cheer you on as you pass by their houses and habitats! Immediately following the official 5K, we will host a Kids' Run.
The event includes delicious offerings from food and drink vendors and a trophy ceremony for winners. All participants will receive:
Early bird tickets are only $30 and end August 1st. After that, tickets are $40. Day of registration tickets are $50. So register now!

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.
