    The Road to Boston 5K is more than just a race—it’s a statement.

    Every dollar raised goes directly to the supporting service members and their families.

    When you sign up, you’re showing up for those who serve.

    And yeah… it also comes with the hardest 5K medal in the world.

    In person race starts at 8:00am at Jordan Soccer Complex (Fayetteville, NC.)

    The course will be a 1.5 out and back. The route is extremely hilly. EMS will be on site.

    Virtual Race must be conducted on and after March 14th. Integrity will prevail as I will not request 5k verification. That is completely your choice.

    Folks, it's time!! It's time for an ultra trail race in the Fayetteville area and we are pleased to announce that the team that brought you The DeerFly Trail Race will now have a 25k and 50k at Carver's Creek State Park! Are you hardy, persistent and stubborn enough to take on parts of the state park that aren't open to the public? If so, then this is the race for you! During this event you'll get to run some of the already known trails and then get adventurous on some special trails that you've not experienced before! This will be an old school, runner oriented race that will surely be a part of your 2026 race schedule! We have designed a fabulous course that will take you to places that you didn't know existed and we are super excited for everyone to experience Carver's Creek like never before! During the event you'll pass by several lakes and ponds as you enjoy some really runnable technical trail. There are no out and backs or two way traffic. Folks, this is a true 16 mile loop! You will

    run two laps for the 50k and there will be a hard cutoff to start the second loop. 50k runners have 9hrs to finish. Want to take your time or put on a ruck? You'll have the entire time to complete the 25k. Only Cani-Cross dogs allowed. No children under 14 years of age for this event. All entrants will receive a race shirt and event finishers will get an awesome medal!
