About this race

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Leftovers Trail Run, happening Saturday, November 28 — two days after Thanksgiving and our Birds of a Feather Trail Trot. Choose a 5K or 10K and enjoy the scenic, fun, and challenging single-track trails of Briar Chapel.

Embrace the spirit of adventure with a vintage bib, tee, and medal of your choice, all leftover from past events and creatively repurposed for this budget-friendly, eco-conscious race — a true swag scramble. After your run, stick around for the post-race party featuring great food, a free kids race, and an awards ceremony packed with fun contests and plenty of giveaways.

After the race, any remaining tees will be sold at steep discounts — perfectly timed as holiday shopping ramps up.

Make a weekend of it!  Kick things off with the Birds of a Feather Trail Trot on Thanksgiving Day, then burn off that holiday feast two days later at the Leftovers Trail Run. Register for both events at the same time and receive 10% off each race (select Thanksgiving weekend races during registration).
