The 2025 in-person 10-mile and 7k races
Sunday, April 27, 2025
with a ‘self-timed/run at your convenience’ option available

We are excited to present the 17th 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 27th through Sunday, May 4th. 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). In the event of single-track closures, there will be courses marked on the Forest’s gravel roads.
