🏅 The Mighty Mountain 5k

This classic course will take you through a well-maintained trail of rolling hills, gravel, and asphalt through a beautiful hardwood forest near creeks and lakes of Camp Caraway. You will go over the top of Longarm Ridge where you will be rewarded with beautiful mountain views! For our returners, this year’s route will be similar to the one from two races ago. This is the perfect race for both runners and walkers.

⛰️ The Mighty Mountain 10k

You asked, and we listened! Introducing the Mighty Mountain 10k. In this race, there will be 2 Mountains to tackle: the familiar Longarm Ridge and new-to-you Orchard Mountain, which is the original site where Caraway was founded. In this new challenging course, you will gain around 350ft of elevation in the first 1.5 miles. The trail will consist of gravel road, single track dirt/rocky trail, the edge of an 80ft rock face, great foliage cover, and more scenic views. If you love the classic experience, the 10K will not disappoint. Strict walking of the whole 10k course is strongly discouraged. Mixed running/walking is permitted.
