Chestnut Chase
Chestnut Chase is a trail 10K held at Chestnut Mountain Nature Park in Canton, NC on November 8, 2026. The event is a fundraising race; all proceeds will support NCMTR and the Chestnut Mountain Foundation.
The course begins with a rough 600-foot climb in the first two miles via Papertown Express, then continues over rolling hills on the Old Timer trail before a downhill return to the finish. The route uses a lollipop layout with a single aid station that is first passed at mile 1.5 and passed again at mile 4.6. Water, light snacks, and medical support will be available at the aid station.
Event logistics note that parking is on-site and supported by the Town of Canton. Timing will be manual; bibs will not be chipped and are used for visual confirmation of finish position and must be worn visibly. A local vendor will offer donuts and drinks on site. A reserved make-up date of Sunday, November 23rd is listed in case of postponement. Registration availability and fees are set through the event organizer and have specific open and close dates.
NCMTR is a member-supported nonprofit that advocates for and maintains trails and organizes club events. Membership benefits described by the organizer include retail discounts at participating local running stores and entry opportunities with participating organizations.
