Organiser's Description
SPRING is a wonderful time of year in the state of North Carolina: the temperatures begin to warm, the days get longer, the sun shines brighter, and the TRADITION of the hometown Holly Springs NC Spring Classic takes place! This local event encompasses all levels of runner and has distance options of 5k, 8k and 16k.
The race starts and finishes on Main St., the perfect setting in the heart of downtown! The course takes you on a running tour through the most scenic sections of The Springs.
2024 will be the 5th running of the NC Spring Classic, and we cant wait! Grab your friends and join us!

Note: the 8k is a solid pour! -just like we fill your pint glass at the Runners Clubhouse in Pace Yourself! It measures just a hair over 5 miles...so, when your watch hits 4.9 miles, keep going...and know youre getting bonus steps!
16 Note: From approximately miles 5.75 to 7.75, the surface is soft - a wide, compact mulch trail around BASS LAKE.
Registration closes on Wednesday, April 24th at 11:59pm.
