Description
The Carolina Godiva Track Club is proud to host the Umstead Trail Marathon. Now in our 20th year. All 26.2 miles of the marathon will be run on the scenic trails of William B. Umstead State Park, a five thousand-acre tract of dense woods, lakes, streams, hills, that rests between the cities of Raleigh, Cary, and Durham. This is a challenging race with hills, some single-track and runnable bridle trails. There is a six-hour cut off.
Course
Course Consists of roughly 5 miles of single track and the rest on runnable crushed gravel
