About the Event

Welcome to the Leftovers Trail Run, a new 5K and 10K held on Saturday 11/29 - two days after Thanksgiving and our Birds of a Feather Trail Trot - on the scenic, fun, and challenging single-track trails of Briar Chapel.  Embrace the spirit of adventure with a vintage tee and medal of your choice – all leftover from our past events and repurposed for this budget-friendly and eco-conscious event - a real swag scramble.  After running, enjoy the post-race party, complete with great food, the free kids race for treasure, and an awards ceremony with fun contests and lots of giveaways.  

After the race, any leftover tees will be sold at steep discounts – perfectly timed as holiday shopping ramps up!

Do it up on Thanksgiving weekend - run with your flock at the Birds of a Feather Trail Trot on Thanksgiving Day, then burn off those the holiday indulgences two days later at the Leftovers Trail Run.  Register for both events at the same time, get a 10% discount on each.

About Chapel Hill

Scenic view of

Scenic and regularly decked out in "Carolina blue", Chapel Hill is a lovely college town in North Carolina that makes up the westernmost point of the Research Triangle. The town is the smallest of the Triangle's three cities, with an influence and pull that belies its size. Based around the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the town caters heavily to the local student population, with plenty of bars and restaurants near the university's beautiful campus. Immediately to the west of Chapel Hill is the adjacent town of Carrboro, an old mill town now known for its local shops, restaurants and nightlife.
