American Tobacco Trail 10-Miler and 4-Miler

Welcome to the 16th running of the American Tobacco Trail 10-Miler! In 2007, the North Carolina Roadrunners Club started a new 10-mile race along the emerging American Tobacco Trail, a lovely rails-to-trails facility that now runs all the way from Durham to New Hill. That first race was quickly filled by 200 runners, showing that the new trail could handle running events, and giving NCRC the impetus to keep developing and expanding the race. Over the last sixteen years, the number of runners has more than doubled, the trail has gotten additional access points and parking, and the American Tobacco Trail 10-Miler has matured into one of the area's best fall races. The American Tobacco Trail 10 Miler was created in 2007 to raise awareness of and support for the growing trail system throughout the Triangle and to try to have a minimal impact on the environment. It has been designated as the RRCA North Carolina State Championship 10 Mile Event each year from 2008 to 2016, in 2017 and 2022 as the RRCA Southern Region 10-Mile Championship, and again as the state championship in 2018, 2019 and 2021. Held in the early fall, the race is a perfect distance for those tapering for a fall marathon or those trying out a new race distance. Proceeds from these races will help American Tobacco Trail development and maintenance through Triangle Rails to Trails Conservancy. Do not miss this rare opportunity to race on one of the finest, most beautiful courses in the Triangle!
