Petal to the Medal Endurance Event

August 8th 2026
Belmont, NC
8 Hours

We are SO back.

This endurance-based run is designed for both seasoned trail runners and those new to the world of ultras, offering an inclusive space to push limits, build community, and experience the beauty of trail running - without the intimidation factor.

Participants will have up to eight hours to complete as many loops as they choose on a 5K trail course at Daniel Stowe Conservancy. Where someone wants to walk a single loop, test themselves for a few hours, or push into ultra territory, this event is about personal challenge and shared experiences rather than speed or competition.

Inspired by the work of Human Powered Movement, this event leans into sustainable race practice while opening doors for new experiences in endurance sports. It's about trying hard things, together.

174ft of gain per 5k loop
