Can't believe it's been a week since LRTR! From the Starting Line to the Finnish Line and everything in between, we had a blast. And we hope you did too!

Thank you to Little River Regional Park for hosting us and for maintaining a beautiful forest for us to play in.

Thank you to all our sponsors. We couldn't have made this race as successful as it was without you!

And to all our racers, we are so happy we could provide a 75° race day this year! Thank you for coming out and being a part of this community!

We'd love to see you all next year so Save the Date: January 9, 2027!

Not every race needs to be about the podium.⁠
⁠
Some races are about connection. About showing up with your people, running trails you love, and celebrating at the finish line—no matter your pace.⁠
⁠
Little River Trail Runs has spent 21 years building a community that welcomes everyone. First-timers and seasoned runners. Fast finishers and back-of-the-packers. All of it.⁠
⁠
This is trail running the way it should be: inclusive, joyful, and rooted in something bigger than PRs. Come for the run. Stay for the people.⁠

It's easy to lose momentum when the days get shorter and the couch gets cozier. But here's the thing: having a race on the calendar changes everything.⁠
⁠

⁠
Early-season race. Supportive vibes. A finish line party that makes it all worth it.⁠

You know that magical tent at the finish line with foam rollers, massage tables, and someone ready to rescue your calves from cramping oblivion? That's all thanks to , one of our longest-standing sponsors!⁠

Last day to guarantee a t-shirt 🐢⁠
⁠
Register for Little River Trail Runs by midnight tonight, December 21, and lock in your custom tee designed by local designer Lily Kramer.⁠
⁠
Still looking for the perfect gift? Give the gift of trails. A race registration supports local parks, gets someone outside, and connects them with our trail community. It's healthy, it gives back, and it's way better than another pair of socks.⁠
⁠
Gift yourself. Gift a friend. Just don't wait.⁠
