Zelda 4 Hour

Saddlebrook, United States • 3 May 2025

The Zelda 4 Hour is a trail running event held annually at Rob Wallace Park in Midland, North Carolina. This 4-hour timed race challenges participants to complete as many 2-mile laps as possible on a fast, non-technical course that circles the park and quarry lake. Runners need only complete one lap to be considered finishers.

The event supports the Greater Charlotte SPCA, featuring fundraising efforts and an adoption event at the start/finish area where participants can run with adoptable dogs. Amenities include aid stations, parking, and restrooms, with packet pickup available before and on race day. Volunteers are welcomed and rewarded with race perks.
