The Shakori 40 Running Festival offers a 40-mile ultramarathon, a 40K race, a 40-mile relay, and a 4-mile race during a December weekend in Pittsboro, North Carolina. The event takes place at Shakori Hills Community Art Center, near Chapel Hill, featuring cross-country running on trails rather than roads.
The course crosses the art center’s grounds and trails. The relay permits teams of up to 10 participants, with age and gender adjustments determining the overall winner, enabling mixed groups to compete for the team title. Shakori Hills also hosts a music festival, and the race weekend incorporates this atmosphere with live music, food, camping, bonfires, and craft beer. It attracts ultrarunners, 40K participants, relay teams, short-distance runners, and individuals seeking a trail-focused weekend at an arts venue.
