Spin and Dye 8K

Embark on a scenic and challenging 8K journey at the annual Spin and Dye 8K, set for Saturday, August 8, 2026, in the charming town of Erwin, North Carolina. This chip-timed event, celebrating its fifth running, promises a rewarding experience for runners of all levels, beginning promptly at 7:00 AM. The course starts and finishes at the welcoming Al Woodall Municipal Park, located at 810 S 16th Street, guiding participants through picturesque routes. Runners can anticipate a dynamic course with a few modest climbs in the first half, transitioning to a flatter, faster second half, ideal for those aiming for negative splits.

The Spin and Dye 8K is more than just a race; it's an opportunity to connect with the local running community and support a meaningful cause, with proceeds benefiting Rockism for Autism. As the second event in the exciting Harnett County race series, participants can even take advantage of bundled registration savings for all three races in Erwin, Dunn, and Coats. Typical race day conditions in early August in Erwin, NC, feature highs around 91°F and lows around 71°F, with a 20% chance of precipitation, so prepare for a warm, humid summer run. Top three overall male and female finishers will be awarded medals, along with age group medals across various USAT&F 10-year categories.
