The Shining Hope Farms Salute Trail Run is scheduled for September 12, 2026 at Shining Hope Farms in Conover, North Carolina. This is the sixth annual running of the event. The course uses trails across a 120 acre farm located north of Charlotte.

- 10k trail
Both distances can be walked or run and will be chip-timed. An awards ceremony will take place after the race. Registration includes a t-shirt. Food, drinks, and music will be available on site after finish.
