About
This was a great event in 2015 and we cannot wait for the 2016 event! It’s not often you have the opportunity to put on an event in the same place you run every day! This event will again be apart of the Trivium Racing Running Series and will start on the trails behind Northern Guilford High School before jumping onto the newest trails in the Triad. Run down the trails next to gorgeous dogwood trees and beaver ponds. The marathoners will continue onto trails along Lake Townsend and Lake Brandt before making their way back to NGHS! Great finishers medals and prizes await our finishers.
70% of the marathon course takes place on well groomed hiking trails and 30% on mountain bike trails. The lollipop shaped 10 mile course will keep you entirely on well groomed hiking trails.

Maps
Course Maps
We have reversed the 16 mile circle of the course this year to make it safer. The marathon course is a mix of 70% well groomed hiking trail and 30% mountain bike trail. The course will measure on gps somewhere between 23.8 and 24.5 but has been accurately measured with a wheel at 26.2 miles being wheeled)
With a slight lollipop on the turnaround this is a gorgeous scenic trail from Northern High School out to the lakes and back for a fun well groomed 10 miler course!
