Cane Creek Mtn Trail Run

Snow Camp, United States • 12 Sep 2026

Event overview

The Cane Creek Mtn Trail Run takes place on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Cane Creek Mountain Natural Area in Snow Camp, NC. The event offers two distances: a 10K and a Half Marathon. The park is a new, 1,000-acre natural area and the race finishes at the Pine Hill Trailhead (5075 Bass Mountain Road).

Distances

  • 10K - 6.2 miles, 652' elevation gain
  • Half Marathon - 13.4 miles, 1509' elevation gain

Course and features

Both courses use extensive single-track trails with an initial mile of wide gravel and flat trail, a steep rocky 300' ascent called "THE CLIMB," and varied technical sections with roots and rocks. An 80-foot observation tower sits at the mountain peak; runners have an optional stair climb to the top late in the event. Runners who do not climb may take a real-time, 5-minute time penalty served at the aid station. The organizer rates the course technical difficulty as 4- out of 5.

Logistics, services, and rules

Parking at the staging area is limited to 60 vehicles; other participants walk about 1/2 mile from Camp Frontier or use shuttles from designated lots. Drop-offs at the staging area are not allowed. Aid stations are placed every 1-2 miles. Chip timing, post-race food, finisher medals, event tees, free photos, and shuttle service are provided.
