Course Info:

Our 2024 The Big Run 5K course will start and finish near the Eno River Farmers Market Pavilion in downtown Hillsborough, NC. It will follow the Riverwalk east towards the Historic Occoneechee Speedway Tract, follow the trail through the woods to the speedway, do a lap around the speedway and head back to the finish area at the Farmers Market. While a small portion of the the course is on a very beginner friendly trail (narrow but minimal roots and rocks), the majority of the course features paved bike paths and crushed gravel. For those who are comfortable with going off-road, this course can be navigated by a running stroller.
