Sandhills Sasquatch
The event uses a well maintained, well marked 1-mile loop on the Weymouth Woods Boyd Tract Loop in Southern Pines, NC. The route circles the Weymouth Center property and passes the oldest known living Long Leaf Pine, estimated to be over 470 years old.
Participants may choose a self-paced 4-hour challenge or a three-loop 5K, with run and ruck options available. For the 4-hour option, competitors complete as many 1-mile laps as they can in the prescribed time; the participant who covers the most distance in that time is declared the winner. Laps are recorded by race staff. Runners may run, walk, and rest as needed. The 5K option is three loops with a one-hour cutoff; 5K participants may continue additional laps and opt into the full 4-hour challenge at any time.
An aid station will be set up at the start/finish with water, Gatorade, and snacks. Participants may set up personal tents, tables, and aid stations in the park area by the start/finish. Prizes are planned for top male and female in both the 4-hour and 5K categories, for run and ruck divisions. Registered participants receive an official race t-shirt and finishing medal; shirts cannot be guaranteed for registrations after October 12, 2026.
Packet pickup is scheduled Friday night at Pace Yourself Run Company, 205 NE Broad St, Downtown Southern Pines, and same-day pickup is available at the start line. Parking is at Weymouth Woods Center for the Humanities, 555 E Connecticut Ave, Southern Pines, NC. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
