Lake Norman State Park Six Hour Endurance Run

About

Join us at Lake Norman State Park for another great event the Lake Norman State Park Six Hour Endurance Run. This event will be held rain or shine from 9:00am to 3:00pm. The endurance run is for both beginner and experienced runners. Run as few or as many hours as you would like or run as few or as many laps as you would like within the 6 hour time frame.

Course Description

This route combines the Lake Shore Trail with the Short Turn Trail to provide a great loop with a distance of 4.0 miles while still running along the shoreline of Lake Norman which provides gorgeous views. This trail consist of varied terrain, mix of flat well groomed trails along with sections of roots, rocks, steps, and bridges (runnable course on rolling trails, approx. 277 ft of gain per loop). Each loop will begin and end at the Start/Finish line which will be located at the end of Shortleaf Drive so you'll have easy access to an aid station, drop bag, and bathroom after finishing each loop. Total course loop is 4 miles.



Aid Station

There will be one fully stocked aid station along the course serving water, Mountain Dew, Coke, Ginger Ale, and Tailwind. Food will consist of sandwiches, chips, cookies, fruit and pre-packaged items. Hammer Gels will be provided. Pizza will be available during and after the run as well.
Space will be available at the Start/Finish line for canopies if you would like to set up your own aid station. There will also be a shelter available with picnic tables and a drop bag area. Please label your drop bag with your name or bib number.
Please bring your own hydration source to carry with you on the course.
Bathrooms are located at the Start/Finish line which will be passed every 4 miles.
