🌟 Race Overview

Don’t let the dog days get you down! When it gets warm in the Carolinas we play after the sun goes down!

Come hang out just before dusk for the 2025 Summer Nights 5K and 1 Mile-ish! The setting sun paired with the shade of our trails will make for the “coolest” race you can do around here in mid-July!
