Cape Fear Holiday Run
The Cape Fear Holiday Run takes place on December 12, 2026 in Lillington, North Carolina at Cape Fear Shiner Park, 350 Alexander Drive. The course is a 1.17-mile loop that combines trail terrain with a short paved section.
The event offers timed running options:
- 9-hour timed event
- 6-hour timed event
- 3-hour timed event
There is ample parking and space for participants to set up personal aid stations near the start and finish area. The event provides one main aid station stocked with water, Gatorade, soft drinks, and a variety of snacks. The event is cup-less, so participants are asked to bring reusable cups, handheld bottles, or hydration packs; a limited number of disposable cups will be available.
Clockwork Race Timing will provide electronic timing. Porta-potties will be available on site in 2026 and permanent restroom facilities are planned for the future.
All finishers receive a finisher medal. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each timed event, and a special award recognizes the participant with the most holiday spirit. All proceeds are donated to the Harnett Food Pantry, a registered 501(c)(3). Registrations are non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-deferrable. Registration closes December 10, 2026; registering by November 10, 2026 guarantees a tshirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
