Get Ready to run with your Ho! Ho! Ho! Homies at the Cape Fear Holiday Run!

Join us for a jolly trail running adventure at the Cape Fear Holiday Run, held in the (sort of) new Cape Fear Shiner Park in Lillington, NC! Our 1.17-mile loop combines a scenic trail with a short, paved section, offering a fun and accessible course for runners of all levels.

We're offering 9-hour, 6-hour, and 3-hour timed events, all starting at 7:00 am. With plenty of parking and space to set up your own personal aid station near the start/finish, you'll have everything you need. Run as much or as little as you like—it's all about enjoying the holiday spirit and supporting a great cause!

We'll have one aid station well-stocked with all the ultra-running essentials: water, Gatorade, soft drinks, and a variety of snacks.

We're committed to reducing our environmental impact, so this is a cup-less event. Please bring your own reusable cups, handheld bottles, or hydration packs. Limited disposable cups will be available.

Everyone who crosses the finish line will receive a finisher's medal! We'll also have special awards for the top three male and female finishers in each timed event. And because we love holiday attire, we'll have a special award for the participant with the most holiday spirit.

Clockwork Race Timing will be providing electronic timing.

Porta-potties will be available on site in 2025. Permanent restroom facilities are planned for the future.

All proceeds from the Cape Fear Holiday Run will be donated to the Harnett Food Pantry, helping to fight hunger in our community. Because this is a fundraiser, registrations are non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-deferrable.
