Lake Rhodhiss Trailfest : Valdese, NC
Lake Rhodhiss Trailfest is scheduled for October 10, 2026, in Valdese, North Carolina, and is organized by Friends of the Valdese Rec. The event offers timed endurance options on a loop course near 1149 Lake Rhodhiss Drive.
The event features multiple timed race durations:
- 3 hour event
- 6 hour event
- 12 hour event
Participants complete a roughly 3 mile loop that combines about two miles of trail with one mile of crushed cinder greenway. The format lets entrants either pursue maximum distance within their chosen time or target a specific goal distance while using the allotted time to reach it. An example provided is using the 6 hour option to attempt a 50K at an average 5 mph pace.
Lake Rhodhiss Trailfest serves as the kickoff event for Great State Trail Day the following weekend. The start/finish area will include space for 10 by 10 tents or tables, and food and beverages will be available during the races. Organizers also plan for intermittent live music on the pavilion stage.
Online offers are listed with prices from $38.50 to $82.18 USD and a validity date beginning May 22, 2026. Registration closes Wednesday, October 7 at 11:59 PM ET. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
