Marathon
Race Information
Lace up your trail shoes and get ready for an unforgettable adventure! The Umstead Trail Marathon will take you deep into the heart of one of North Carolina's most popular state parks. This isn't your average road race. You will be trading pavement for the scenic, rolling hills and challenging singletrack of William B. Umstead State Park. You'll wind through a beautiful landscape of pine forests, past tranquil lakes, and across babbling streams. Every step is an opportunity to connect with nature and push your limits. Expect well-stocked aid stations, unique finisher awards, and comfy shirts included with your registration.
