5K versenyek Raeford közelében

Sandhills Running’s Sasquatch offers a four-hour 1-mile repeat race alongside a 5K on the Weymouth Woods Boyd Tract Loop in Southern Pines, North Carolina. Both events commence at 8 AM on a clearly marked trail. The longer race allows participants four hours to complete as many one-mile laps as possible, while the 5K involves three circuits of the same loop. The route encircles the Weymouth Center property and goes by the oldest known living longleaf pine, estimated to be over 470 years old. This format is ideal for runners prioritizing straightforward organization: a single, repeated trail loop, packet collection the night before or on race morning, parking at the Weymouth Woods Center for the Humanities, and a distinct option between a timed endurance event and a short trail 5K.
