Camp Chestnut Ridge Trail Race

The Camp Chestnut Ridge Trail Race, held annually at the Chestnut Ridge Camp and Retreat Center in Efland, NC, offers a scenic trail running experience through rolling hills and old hardwood forests. The event features two main trail races of approximately 4 and 8 miles on single-track dirt and gravel trails, with water stations and a no-headphones policy to ensure safety. Walkers are welcome on the shorter course, and childcare is provided during the race.

A 3-mile virtual race option is also available. Proceeds support the camp’s ministry and scholarship programs, making it a community-focused event with a friendly, well-organized atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
