Medoc Trail Races

Event overview

The Medoc Trail Races take place at Medoc Mountain State Park in Hollister, North Carolina. The event is a trail race with looped courses that use park roads briefly before moving onto wooded trails. The race includes single track sections, varied elevation with short steep hills, and a summit loop that is part of the longer course. The organizers limit combined entries to 500 participants.
