Birds Of a Feather Trail Trot
The Birds of a Feather Trail Trot is an annual Thanksgiving Day trail running event held at Briar Chapel in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Participants can choose between a mellow 2-mile course featuring paved trails, grass, and smooth paths, or a more rugged 5K course with roots, rocks, and hills. Both distances offer timed race and untimed fun run options.
The 5K course covers approximately 3.38 miles with 217 feet of elevation gain, while the 2-mile course spans about 2.04 miles with 134 feet of elevation gain. The event emphasizes a friendly atmosphere with limited entries, professional race management, aid stations, chip timing, and post-race pie. Additional features include a free kids' race, awards, contests, giveaways, and family-friendly accommodations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
