The Squirrel Trail Run is Saturday at 9am!

Some notes:
1. There are 4 sections: Dam to Raven Ridge (3.5m), Raven Ridge to Possum Track (2.5m), Possum Track to Possum Track aka Awesome Possum (3m), Possum Track to Bayleaf Church Rd (3m).
2. Aid station with water at end of leg 2 (Possum Track Rd)
3. You hit main roads twice. Raven Ridge at end of leg 1 and Possum Track at end of leg 3. Take a right both times and hug the road until you see the trailhead. Then go right into the woods. Use the Strava route or FarOut / AllTrails for guidance.
4. Always follow the white blaze of the
5. If the Falls dam parking lot by the gate is full, there is a big parking lot across the street.
6. This is a fun run aka unofficial. It’s rain or shine and also a Strava Challenge. So if you don’t like the weather, do it on your own time. Run at your own risk and use the buddy system!

Let’s have some fun. See you in the morning!

On Saturday, January 3rd, Deer hunting season will be over, so let’s get together for some fun! Kick off the year with a fun point-to-point “20k” trail run on the Mountains to Sea Trail. Run with a group from the gate at Falls Dam to the Bayleaf Church Road trail crossing (12700 Bayleaf Church Rd, Raleigh, NC 27614), or on your own (Strava segment coming). There will be an aid station halfway at the end of Possum Track Road and at the finish. Wanna get wild? Do the Super Squirrel and go out and back.

2025 Raleigh Holiday Half Marathon Official Strava Segment and Route

2025 Race day is coming soon and the "Official" Strava segment and route are now live! If you have run the race before, you may be asking: What has changed? Not much, but when the city realigned the Crabtree Creek Trail from Raleigh Boulevard to Lockwood Park a few years ago, it shortened the route.
