Choose your challenge from the 50K, 25K, or 5K distances, each offering a chance to explore a truly untouched landscape. The course features a scenic 5-mile loop around the farm, leading runners to a charming hunter's cabin and incorporating a beautiful out-and-back fire road section. With an elevation gain of 400 feet per loop, runners will find a rewarding challenge while taking in the serene surroundings. This event is more than just a race; it's an opportunity to be part of history as 100% of registration fees directly contribute to the ongoing development of some of Ellenboro's most beautiful trails.

Runners can expect a well-supported experience on race day. The aid station will be fully stocked with a variety of basic food choices, including pickles, cereal, pretzels, candy, fruit, and even bacon, alongside hydration options like water, Tailwind, and assorted sodas. First aid will also be readily available.

What truly sets the Hollis Hills Farm Revival apart is its dedication to community and the land. Beyond the trails, participants can engage in unique additions like camping options or even "naming a goat" or "buying a chicken for the farm" during registration, further supporting the farm's revitalization. Finishers will receive a handcrafted pottery medal by BlueGill Pottery, each a one-of-a-kind piece to commemorate their achievement. The race also features a pre-race bonfire and local merchants on Friday, creating a festive atmosphere before you hit the trails of this reviving North Carolina gem.
