TreeTops 8.5 Mile

Event Overview

Join us Saturday, October 18, 2025 for the 3rd Annual TreeTops 8.5 Mile Trail Race in DuPont State Recreational Forest near Brevard, North Carolina! This event is limited to 300 participants.

This race offers a unique opportunity to explore the spectacular 10,000 acres of rolling hills and towering trees that make up this beautiful forest. Take on the 8.5 mile challenging trail race - but beware! With nearly 1,000 feet of elevation gain it’s no walk in the park!
