Yadkin River Run

Lace up for an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Yadkin Valley at the annual Yadkin River Run on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in scenic Jonesville, NC. Offering distances for every runner, including a 10K, 5K, and a 1-Mile Fun Run, this event promises a refreshing experience for both seasoned athletes and casual participants. The race kicks off from the Jonesville Greenway Trailhead, guiding runners on an out-and-back course that meanders alongside the tranquil Yadkin River.

Runners will navigate moderate terrain consisting of both screenings and natural surfaces, all while soaking in picturesque views of area campgrounds, local wildlife, and even an iconic covered bridge. This isn't just a race; it's an opportunity to connect with nature and experience the vibrant Yadkin Valley. Typical race day conditions in early June see comfortable lows around 58F, rising to highs around 84F, with only an 18% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather. Beyond the stunning course, the Yadkin River Run holds a deeper purpose, with all proceeds dedicated to assisting the Jonesville Police Department in funding a K-9 dog for their agency.

Join a community-spirited event that combines fitness, breathtaking scenery, and the chance to support a vital local cause. Packet pickup and race day registration open at 6:30 AM, with all races starting promptly at 8:00 AM.
