Race Information

Seize the Day and Seize the Night with one of Trivium's favorite events from Michigan that they are bringing to NC! The race will take place on the beautiful and smooth trails of Hagan Stone Park. These trails are perfect for running both day and night and will offer the unique opportunity for you to experience these trails both by sunlight and moonlight on the same day! The event includes both a long (Half Marathon) and short (10K ) option in the morning and evening. The morning race will be completed in daylight and the evening option will start before dark, but many people will finish after the sun has gone down! They will have both a day medal and a night medal! If you do both events!
