Piedmont 8 Hour Run

The race begins at Equestrian Trailhead Parking (this is also where runners park). Runners complete an approximately 2.7-mile loop utilizing Coyote Run, Pine, Cabin, and Big Wood trails. There is a 50/50 mix of open field and forest running. There are no big hills and only approximately 80 feet of elevation gain every loop. Runners will have excellent views of the fall foliage and bird-watching opportunities as they travel through the fields. The field trails are equestrian trails so they are wide and can be muddy if there has been rain. This is an incredibly beginner-friendly race!

Runners complete the 2.7-mile loop as many times as they wish in the 8-hour time. Only full loops will be recorded. Runners will travel in the same direction every loop.

This race also offers a “Parent Loop!” This unique idea allows family members the opportunity to run one loop with their runner. They will receive a finishing time (2.7 miles), award and shirt. The idea is to get families out on the trails together!
