Little Carolina Trail Fest

Little Carolina Trail Fest

Little Carolina Trail Fest is an evening trail event on June 20, 2026, held at the Lagoon Picnic Area in the Rocky River Reservation, Valley Parkway, Olmsted Falls, Ohio. The event uses a single 5 km loop on trails in the Cleveland Metroparks. Participants choose how many loops to complete on race day, with options extending up to 20 km total.

The event allows hiking, rucking, walking, and running at any pace. The course, start, and finish pass through a central festival area where live bluegrass music and a beer garden are located. The event provides chip timing, a finisher medal, and a pin or button to record the number of completed loops. An optional race shirt is available.

Packet pick-up and shuttle services are provided for participants. Parking is permitted only in legal parking spaces; the Metroparks may ticket or tow illegally parked vehicles. In the case of inclement weather the event will proceed unless severe conditions force cancellation; live music may be adjusted.
