Lake Rhodhiss Trailfest

Lake Rhodhiss Trailfest, held in Valdese, North Carolina, is a trail running event featuring a 10-mile, 10K, 5K, and a one-mile fun run. Set within Valdese Lakeside Park, the courses primarily traverse technical, single-track trails characterized by rolling hills, roots, and rocks, offering a challenging experience for participants. The 5K distance is slightly longer than the standard 3.1 miles, and the other courses may not be exact in their advertised distances.
