The TrailHeads are pleased to announce The Philosopher's Way 7K and 15K Trail Runs, scheduled for May 2, 2009. Runners will be able to choose between a 7 or 15 kilometer run on singletrack trails through the Carolina North Forest. This tranquil natural oasis features 750 acres of woodlands nestled between the towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro.

This event is meant for everyone and organized to provide a fun, relaxed, and enjoyable morning on the trails. Enjoy a respite from the urban landscape and come celebrate Spring and the beauty of our local trails in the company of friends and good music.

Adopting the slogan "Enter - Learn - Return", the event will promote awareness of the Forest, UNC's active management program and will provide the participants and community a chance to learn and connect with the natural environment.

Both the 7K and 15k course are comprised of gently rolling single-track trails. There will be well stocked aid stations and impromptu shenanigans along the way.

The 15k race will start at 9:00 a.m. and the 7K will start around 9:15 a.m. with awards to follow.

Please Note: No Pets, No Headphones, No Race Day Registration, and No Refunds.
