Dirty Santa Trail Run

The Dirty Santa Trail Run is a December trail race held at the Lenoir Rotary Soccer Complex in Lenoir, North Carolina. The course covers approximately 5 miles and concludes the Foothills Run Series. UNC Ortho presents the event. The race, with only a few editions completed, embraces its holiday theme without becoming a novelty run. The course combines nearly 3 miles of single-track on the Zack's Fork Mountain Bike Trail with natural terrain, gravel paths, and a brief paved section. Post-race, participants receive hot cocoa, s'mores, and the opportunity to select a Dirty Santa gift. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers, masters and grandmasters runners, and age-group winners from youth to senior divisions.
