The Tardevil 30 Mile Bushwhack

Chapel Hill, United States • 6 Mar 2027

Event Overview

The TarDevil 30 Mile Bushwhack is a point-to-point journey that connects Chapel Hill and Durham in North Carolina. This annual activity is organized as a training run by TarDevil Adventures Inc., a non-profit organization. The route begins at the Old Well on the UNC Chapel Hill campus and concludes at Duke Chapel on the Duke University campus.

Course Details

The course covers a total distance of 30 miles. Approximately 90% of the route consists of trails or off-road access, allowing participants to traverse forests, fields, and streams between the two towns. The event is characterized by its "bushwhacking" style, which involves navigating through woods and off-trail sections rather than following standard marked paths. One specific location along the route includes Johnson Mill in Orange County.

Participation and Logistics

Registration is open to the public through a dedicated platform, with proceeds covering operational costs such as insurance, finisher shirts, and aid station supplies. As the run involves significant off-road segments and stream crossings, specific gear is recommended for participants.
