Perennial: a Time Based Endurance Run
Belmont, United States • 7 Mar 2026
Perennial: A Time Based Endurance Run is a cup-free, safety-pin-free timed running event held on the grounds of Daniel Stowe Conservancy in Belmont, NC, just outside Charlotte. Participants choose from 3-hour, 6-hour, or 10-hour time slots and aim to complete as many 5K-ish laps as possible on a largely trail and crushed gravel loop that starts and finishes at the Race HQ. The course provides waterfront-style scenery with minimal elevation, and aid is available near the start/finish with each lap. The atmosphere emphasizes self-paced testing, escalating distance prizes, and support for local nonprofits and the Conservancy, with registration capped to about 150 runners.
