Event Description
Rural Hill First Footin' Five Miler

Start 2014 off right with a five mile run through one of Mecklenburg County’s most historic and beautiful properties. The challenging trail run will feature plenty of challenges as it winds its way around the 265 acre nature preserve and farm. Be sure to bring one or more non-perishable food items to be donated to needy families. All proceeds from the race will benefit the educational mission of Historic Rural Hill, a non-profit working farm, historic site, and center for education.


Course Description: The five mile course’s challenging terrain varies and includes hills, roots, rocks, grass, uneven surfaces, and some gravel. About 60% of the course is forested, with most of the rest moving across rolling pastures. Watch out for the possibility of mud in some areas. Runners will start near the Rural Hill Cabin site and will run the circular course once in a clockwise direction for 2.5 miles before doubling back and returning to the start.


Race Date: Tuesday, January 1st, 2014


Race Time: 10am


Packet pickup: 8:30 - 9:45 Race Day Morning at Rural Hill

Awards: In addition to door prizes, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd awards to be given to the top 3 male and female finishers.


Volunteers needed: None of Rural Hill’s events would exist if it weren't for the generous and enthusiastic support of volunteers. We’ll need timing assistants, people at the water station / road crossings, and more! Please email zac@ruralhill.net with “First Footin Five Miler” in the subject line if you or someone you know would like to help out.
