Leftovers Trail Run – Chapel Hill, NC 2026

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Leftovers Trail Run , happening Saturday, November 28 — two days after Thanksgiving and our Birds of a Feather Trail Trot. Choose a 5K or 10K and enjoy the scenic, fun, and challenging single-track trails of Briar Chapel. Embrace the spirit of adventure with a vintage bib, tee, and medal of your choice , all leftover from past events and creatively repurposed for this budget-friendly, eco-conscious race — a true swag scramble. After your run, stick around for the post-race party featuring great food, a free kids race, and an awards ceremony packed with fun contests and plenty of giveaways. After the race, any remaining tees will be sold at steep discounts — perfectly timed as holiday shopping ramps up. Make a weekend of it! Kick things off with the Birds of a Feather Trail Trot on Thanksgiving Day, then burn off that holiday feast two days later at the Leftovers Trail Run.
