Millstone Creek Apple Cider 5K/10K

Lace up your running shoes for an unforgettable autumn experience at the Millstone Creek Apple Cider 5K/10K, taking place on November 7, 2026, in scenic Ramseur, NC. This cherished event, part of the Piedmont Race Series, offers runners a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the vibrant hues of fall. Both the 5K and 10K courses begin and end at the picturesque Millstone Creek Orchards, an 84-acre family farm renowned for its autumn beauty. The 5K course winds directly through the orchards, showcasing their full fall colors, while the 10K extends further, taking participants through the charming streets of Downtown Ramseur, where friendly local merchants will be out to cheer you on.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions around 63F highs and 38F lows, with a minimal 12% chance of precipitation, providing ideal crisp fall weather for personal bests. The festive atmosphere is amplified by the unique post-race perk: all participants receive a coupon for a delicious Apple Cider Smoothie, compliments of Millstone Creek Orchards, a perfect way to refuel and celebrate. Beyond the race, the orchard is celebrated for its family-oriented environment, featuring apple cider donuts, hayrides, and a welcoming "Cider House." This event not only offers a memorable run but also supports a great cause, benefiting the Ramseur Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund.
