Mighty Mountain Run

The Mighty Mountain Run is a trail running event held at Camp Caraway in Sophia, North Carolina, featuring 5K and 10K distances. Set in the scenic Northern Uwharrie Mountains, the course includes rolling hills, gravel, asphalt, and trails through hardwood forests near lakes and creeks. The 5K route climbs over 400 feet, including Longarm Ridge with rewarding mountain views, suitable for runners and walkers.

The 10K adds a second mountain, Orchard Mountain, with challenging elevation and diverse terrain such as rocky single-track trails and scenic overlooks. The event supports camper scholarships and offers chip timing, awards, medals, giveaways, and free snacks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
