Medoc Trail Races

Saturday, October 17, 2026Hollister, NC5 Miles

The Medoc Trail Races is a runner-first event established in 2008 that prioritizes a high-quality experience through thoughtful amenities like custom medals and tech shirts. Set within the scenic Medoc Mountain State Park in Hollister, North Carolina, the course challenges participants with a mix of wooded single-track trails and rolling terrain. Runners will navigate a series of loops that feature beautiful waterways and natural vistas, with the 10-Miler distance adding extra mileage on mountain bike trails and a summit loop. The event is organized by the dedicated volunteers of the Rocky Mount Endurance Club, who strive to improve the race annually based on participant feedback. Whether you are tackling the 5-Miler or the 10-Miler, you will enjoy an immersive nature experience that tests your endurance. Keep an eye out for the legendary Medoc himself, but be sure to follow the golden rule: never feed him.
