Crack Of Dawn Dash

🌅 Welcome to the Crack Of Dawn Dash

Wake up when the rooster crows and get to downtown Lenoir for this second year early morning event! The race offers two distances (5K &: 10K) and starts earlier this year so it will be nice and cool! The unique course traverses downtown on city streets, navigates some side roads and zips down the newest section of the Lenoir Greenway. Do it twice for the 10K distance with an opportunity to pass your cheering family, friends and spectators at the halfway point (Start / Finish line). The Crack Of Dawn Dash 10K is the official distance for The Foothills Run Series and therefore only results from the 10K distance will be considered toward the series ending standings.
