Occoneechee Mountain Challenge - Hillsborough, North Carolina - Running

The Occoneechee Mountain Challenge is a Running race in Hillsborough, North Carolina consisting of a 10 Mile Trail Run.

Course Highlights

1. Race will start and finish on the Historic Occoneechee Speedway Track
2. Runners will then run on the beautiful Riverwalk (part of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail), past the Occaneechi Indian Village, and through Gold Park
3. The middle third of this race will take you around and up to the top of Occoneechee Mountain, the highest point in Orange County

In January, this could be a tricky trail. There will be almost 700ft of elevation gain in the middle third, and the trail has rocks, roots, steps, mud, everything you're looking for in a great trail course.

We plan to provide chili, bread, coffee and other warming sustenance at the finish line.

No shirts - but we plan to provide warm beanie hats at bib pick up and a medal to all challengers that complete the course.
