The Unforeseen
Charlotte, United States • 15 Nov 2025
Event overview
The Unforeseen is scheduled for November 15, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina, at Reedy Creek Nature Preserve (2986 Rocky River Rd). The race is a random-distance event: the final race distance is determined by a dice roll shortly before the start. Possible distances range from 4.5 miles to 27 miles, and each lap is 2.25 miles. In 2024 a two was rolled, which resulted in the 4.5-mile distance.
Course and logistics
The course is a 2.25-mile loop that uses flat gravel and single-track trail. The start and finish are located near the pavilion behind the nature center. Trail junctions are marked with yellow arrows. A GPX file for the course is available.
Packet pickup takes place at the pavilion before the race. The pavilion behind the nature center serves as the aid station with snacks, refill jugs, trash cans, and first-aid support; runners who drop out are asked to notify staff. Bib numbers are assigned by age order, with the youngest runner receiving bib 1, the next youngest bib 2, and so on. The winner will receive a Damascus steel knife as the prize. Volunteers receive entry to a future race. The refund policy: 100% refunds within 90 days, 50% within 30 days, no refunds within 10 days; no refunds if the race is canceled, but entrants will be granted another free race.
