Virtual 5K and 12.5 Miler

In celebration of the 125th anniversary of Pinehurst, the Pinehurst Parks & Recreation Department is hosting a virtual run/walk challenge! Get out and explore our beautiful Village parks, trails, streets, and facilities while building mileage towards your goal.

This virtual race runs through the month of August and includes a 5K or 12.5 mile challenge open to all who would like to celebrate Pinehurst! 5K finishers will earn a commemorative t-shirt and 12.5-mile finishers will earn a commemorative t-shirt AND a medal. Run or walk your distance all in one go or spread your race through the entire month, it’s up to you! Due to COVID-19, we will not be able to meet as a group for any activities, so finisher t-shirts and medals will be mailed out on September 1, following the completion of the challenge.

Follow our Facebook event page for route suggestions, 125th anniversary information, and for us to cheer you on! Email us once you have completed your challenge at mmcdonald@vopnc.org.
