About the race
Three Little Pigs is a 5K trail run held at Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge in Pittsboro on October 10, 2026. The event is an officially timed race run as three loops on gravel roads that pass through the refuge's fields and forests. The course includes access to new land intended for future rescued pigs.
Immediately after the timed 5K there is a family friendly Fun Run that allows participants to travel at a slower pace. During the Fun Run visitors can go to the new pig habitat, where a tour guide will describe the refuge's plans for pig housing and infrastructure.
Vendors at the event include EBN's Vegan Cuisine and Season It Up Vegan, offering sweet and savory food. The event features a trophy ceremony for race winners. Registrants who sign up before September 18 are guaranteed a race T-shirt, a swag bag, and a finisher medal. Registration pricing noted by the organizer is early bird $30, regular $40 after August 1, and $50 day of event.
Proceeds support Phase 2 of The Pig Project, a campaign to build houses and other infrastructure so the refuge can provide rescued pigs with permanent homes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
