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 terrain, or a more rugged 5K course with roots, rocks, and hills. Both distances offer timed race and untimed fun run options.
The event emphasizes a friendly, intimate atmosphere with limited entries to avoid overcrowding. After the race, runners enjoy pie, a free kids' treasure race, awards, contests, giveaways, and free photos. The course is well-marked, supported by volunteers, aid stations, and medical staff, making it suitable for families and trail runners of all levels.
