Lake Norman State Park Trail Race

Troutman, United States • 6 Dec 2025

The Lake Norman State Park Trail Race, held in Troutman, NC, offers two challenging trail running options: a 30K and a 50K. Both races feature smooth, rolling single-track trails with no repeated loops, providing a fresh experience throughout. The 30K course includes about 1,500 feet of elevation gain, while the 50K has approximately 1,900 feet. Aid stations stocked with drinks and snacks are strategically placed along the routes—two for the 30K and four for the 50K. Participants enjoy a scenic course through multiple loops within the park, with awards for top finishers and finisher medals for all who complete their race within the 9-hour cutoff.
