Crack of Dawn Dash

The Crack Of Dawn Dash is an early morning running event held in downtown Lenoir, North Carolina. Now in its second year, the race offers two distances: a 5K and a 10K, with the latter serving as the official race for the Foothills Run Series. The course features a unique route through city streets, side roads, and the newest section of the Lenoir Greenway.

Runners in the 10K have the chance to pass the start/finish line twice, allowing for spectator support at the halfway point. Participants who register by July 7 secure an event shirt, and awards are given across various age groups and categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
