Perennial: a Time Based Endurance Run

Perennial: A Time Based Endurance Run is a unique timed running event held at the scenic Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden in Belmont, North Carolina, just minutes from Charlotte. Participants choose from 3-hour, 6-hour, or 10-hour race options, running multiple laps of a roughly 5K loop featuring mostly trails and crushed gravel with minimal elevation gain. The course winds along beautiful waterfront trails on the conservancy’s 380-acre grounds, offering a supportive atmosphere with aid stations, prize opportunities for distance milestones, and a community vibe.

The event supports local environmental nonprofits and small businesses, making it a rewarding day of trail running and outdoor connection. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
