Bertie Spectacular 5K & 1 Mile

Lace up for the 17th annual Bertie Spectacular 5K & 1 Mile, taking place on Saturday, October 31, 2026, in the charming town of Windsor, NC. This celebrated event offers both a challenging 5K and a family-friendly 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk, inviting runners of all ages and abilities to experience a picturesque dash through Bertie County. Typical race day conditions in late October in Windsor offer crisp autumn air, with historical highs around 68°F and lows around 47°F, and a low chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

What truly sets the Bertie Spectacular apart is its heartfelt mission and exciting incentives. Every stride taken in this race directly supports the invaluable efforts of the Good Shepherd Food Pantry of Bertie County, helping to alleviate hunger and foster self-reliance within the community. As an added bonus, all participants in the 5K will be automatically entered into a raffle for a chance to win a coveted two-night stay in one of Windsor's unique treehouses along the scenic Cashie River. The start and finish lines are conveniently located at 107 S. York St, Windsor, NC, making for an easy race day experience. This is more than just a race; it's a day of fitness, fun, and philanthropy, praised by participants as an "amazing race."
