POSTPONED: 20th Little River Trail Runs

POSTPONED: 20th Little River Trail Runs

Dear Little River Trail Runs Participant: 

During the week we have been monitoring the storm situation and trying to make the right call. As of now there is a high likelihood of mixed precipitation and freezing rain throughout the region and the Governor has declared a State of Emergency. This makes our decision simple. While we would love to have the race on the scheduled day (and the thought of a snow run is delightful), we can’t put park staff, volunteers, and participants in harm’s way and put an extra strain on emergency services at this time. We are officially postponing the Little River Trail Runs.

We do plan to reschedule the race in the coming weeks and will be in touch with the makeup date as soon as possible. We will also have information on partial refunds, deferments, and ways to get your shirt if you can’t make it to the new date. Please stay safe this weekend and we look forward to seeing all of you when it is a little bit safer for a jaunt in the woods.

Warm regards,

Snuffy, Turtle, & Tyrnup, LRTR Race Directors

Philosopher’s Way Trail Runs: SUNDAY, April 28th, 2024



The 2024 in-person 10-mile and 7k races will take place
Sunday, April 28, 2024
with a ‘self-timed/run at your convenience’ option available

We are excited to present the 16th running of the Philosopher’s Way Trail Runs at Carolina North Forest in Chapel Hill, NC!

If you prefer to run or walk the course on your own, the courses will be open Sunday, April 28th through Sunday, May 5th. For those not running the in-person event, the courses will be marked, and we invite registrants to run or walk anytime during park hours (8:00 am to 6:00 pm). We’ll provide information on how to upload evidence of your run, and we will do random drawings for prizes (from our amazing sponsors) from among all runners who upload their results. In the event of single-track closures, there will be courses marked on the Forest’s gravel roads.
