The 21st Annual Little River Trail Runs will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026 at Little River Regional Park in beautiful Rougemont, North Carolina. We have two race distances - 10 miles and 7 kilometers. Both races are run primarily on well-marked single track, and we'll have race volunteers and three aid stations along the course. As always, all proceeds from the races go towards support and maintenance of the park and trail system for the community.
