Raptor 5K at Lake Lure
The Raptor 5K takes place at Lake Lure Classical Academy in Lake Lure, North Carolina, on October 31, 2026. The event uses the school's home cross country course and begins at the rear of the school behind the Raptor Center.
The course is a mix of grass, paved paths, and trail. It continues through the Dittmer-Watts nature trails and the Lake Lure green space, then returns to the LLCA campus for the finish. The course is not suitable for strollers.
The stated purpose of the event is to run, have fun, and raise funds for LLCA Athletics and recreation equipment.
Registration details include a student rate for those 18 and under of $15. Other fee tiers are $25 for August 1 through August 15, and $30 from August 16 through race day, with a note that registering by September 19 guarantees a T-shirt.
