Sock Puppets 8K 2026

The Sock Puppets 8K is an 8-kilometer race held at Burlington Athletic Stadium in Burlington, North Carolina. It begins at 8:00 AM Eastern and is directly connected to the local Burlington baseball team, providing a ballpark setting rather than a typical road-race environment. The course circles the baseball stadium and goes through Fairchild Park, with the start and finish located at 1450 Graham Street. This is the event's second year, and its lap-based format offers runners a straightforward challenge: to achieve their fastest lap time.
