Black Toenail Friday é uma prova de trilha no fim da manhã, com largada no Pine Hill Trail Head, em Snow Camp, na Cane Creek Mountains Natural Area, na North Carolina, sempre na sexta depois do Thanksgiving. Tem half marathon e uma opção de 7.5 miles, e nas duas distâncias também rola divisão ruck. Aparece de tudo: corredores, ruckers, hikers, famílias, gente começando nas trilhas e atletas de trail mais cascudos. A largada às 11:00 a.m. é um dos grandes atrativos, porque dá pra dormir até mais tarde depois do Thanksgiving, fugir da muvuca de compras da Black Friday e passar o dia nas trilhas. O percurso é em trilhas bem cuidadas e bem marcadas, com sinalização simples de entender e os caminhos errados fechados com fita. No piso, mistura trechos de single-track liso com raízes, pedras e subidas onduladas moderadas, dando aquela pegada real de trail running sem ser técnico demais. A inscrição inclui camiseta manga longa personalizada, comes e bebes pós-prova, cronometragem ao vivo, premiação e medalha de finisher. Também existem opções economy e virtual. A prova faz parte da North Carolina Trail Mega Medal Series, e tu ainda pode trocar a camiseta por um hoodie ou pagar uma taxa extra pra ficar com os dois.

O Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Trail Half Marathon & 5 Mile leva corredores e ruckers pras trilhas do Northeast Park, em Gibsonville, North Carolina, todo mês de January. As opções são bem diretas: half marathon, prova de 5-mile e divisões de ruck nas duas. Tem largada antecipada na half marathon pra quem precisa de mais tempo e não vai disputar premiação. É uma prova de trilha no inverno que encara as condições difíceis com bom humor; em anos anteriores já rolou de tudo, de tempo quente e seco a frio com piso escorregadio, e até um rio alto demais pra atravessar. A half marathon tem o desafio mais marcante da prova: cruzar o Reedy Fork River duas vezes. A prova de 5-mile mantém bem a pegada de trail-running, mas sem exigir o mesmo compromisso da half marathon. A galera aparece tanto pelo tênis cheio de lama, pelo terreno incerto e pelo espírito “WTF” quanto pelo tempo final, embora tenha chip timing e resultados ao vivo. Todo mundo que completa ganha a medalha personalizada do evento. A inscrição também inclui hoodie da prova, bumper sticker, fotos, comes e bebes no pós-prova e uma beer. A prova também faz parte da North Carolina Trail Mega Medal Series, atraindo quem está na missão de juntar as premiações maiores da série de trilhas.
