Zen Squirrel Trail Run

The inaugural Zen Squirrel Trail Runs are coming to Chapel Hill, NC. Grab your adventure loving family and friends and join us for a morning of fun, challenge, and healthy competition.

The 5 and 10 mile race courses, and the 2 mile fun run (added on 8/27), meander through the neighborhood trails of Briar Chapel, a new and growing community located 15 minutes south of downtown Chapel Hill. These scenic, forest covered courses include a mixture of smooth and flowing dirt trails, rock and root strewn single-track, and challenging hill climbs. Prepare for an awesome day of trail running action!

After the race, stick around for fun post-race festivities – food (including breakfast burritos!), music, massage/stretching, awards, games/giveaways, the FREE kids ‘Race for Treasure’, and the presentation of The Jester Group’s donation to the Haw River Assembly.

This is the inaugural event for Roadless Races – bringing superior event production to the Triangle.
