Lake James 7 Miler & 5k
Race Information
The Lake James 7 Miler & 5k races start and finish at Fonta Flora's charming Whippoorwill Farm in Nebo, NC and take runners on the beautiful trails of Lake James State Park. With stunning views and light rolling hills, both courses are perfect for either a trail beginner or a seasoned runner.
