From the organizer
We are excited to present the 18th running of the Philosopher’s Way Trail Runs at Carolina North Forest in Chapel Hill, NC on Sunday, April 26th, 2026!
If you prefer to run or walk the course on your own, the courses will be open Monday, April 28th through Sunday, May 3rd. For those not running the in-person event on the 26th, the courses will be marked, and we invite registrants to run or walk anytime during park hours (8:00 am to 6:00 pm). We will provide information on how to upload evidence of your run, and we will do random drawings for prizes (from our amazing sponsors) from among all runners who upload their results. In the event of single-track closures, there will be courses marked on the Forest’s gravel roads.
