Soles for Souls 5k Trail Run

It's the Costume Edition! Come in your favorite Fall Flair or Character.

Fun Fall prizes for best costume for each age category

Lace up your trail shoes (and your costumes) for our 4th annual 5k through a mix of hard-surface and wooded trails. Nothing we do is boring! This isn't your average road race - expect natural obstacles, changing footing, and the kind of scenery you only get off the pavement. Enjoy what our beautiful Lincoln County offers while raising funds to support our neighbors experiencing homelessness and poverty as they make their journey to find health, hope, and home.

The Course: Expect uneven terrain and changes between hard surfaces and a wooded trail system. Not stroller friendly!

Packet Pick up: Oct. 23rd from 5:30-7:30pm at Lake Norman Brewery in Denver, NC
