Birds of a Feather Trail Trot
The Birds of a Feather Trail Trot is the fourth annual Thanksgiving Day trail event held at Briar Chapel in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, at 161 Salt Cedar Lane. The event offers multiple short trail distances on a mix of paved paths, grass, smooth trails, and moderately technical single-track with roots, rocks, and rolling hills.
Available distances include:
- 2 Mile timed and untimed options, paved paths, grass, smooth trail
- 5K timed, moderately technical single-track with roots rocks and hills
- 10K timed, moderately technical single-track with roots rocks and hills
A separate untimed fun run or walk is offered for the 2 Mile course. After the runs there is a slice of pie for participants, a free kids race for ages 11 and under, and an awards ceremony that includes contests and giveaways. The event description notes the 10K as a new distance for this edition. The format and course surfaces vary by distance, with the shorter course on non-technical surfaces and the longer courses on single-track trails that include natural obstacles.
