Dirty Santa Trail Run
The Dirty Santa Trail Run is a roughly 5 mile trail race held in Lenoir, North Carolina. The course starts and finishes at the Lenoir Rotary Soccer Complex and uses nearby trails and fields for most of the route.
The route is composed primarily of almost three miles of single track trail, more than one mile of gravel and natural field surface, and a short paved section for variety. The single track uses the Zack's Fork Mountain Bike Trail as part of the course.
Registration opens on April 1, 2026 and closes on October 10, 2026, with a registration fee listed at $45. An April bundle option is available for those who register for all five Foothills Run Series events at once; that bundle offers a 10 percent discount on the lowest price and a limited edition FRS performance shirt. The bundle shirt is gender specific and will be provided at the packet pickup for the first race in the series.
Early packet pickup is scheduled the Friday before the race at Liquid Roots Brewing in Lenoir. Race day registration and packet pickup are also offered. Post race refreshments include a s'mores station and hot cocoa. Awards include top overall and top master and grandmaster trophies and medals, plus age group medals across standard age divisions. Runners who register by November 30 are guaranteed an official event hoodie in their selected size. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
