Godiva Track Club presents its signature long distance event, The Umstead Trail Marathon on Saturday, March 1st and registration is now open.
Here are the overall results from last year for inspiration.
This year marks the 12th edition of the Godiva Cross Country Series.The season will begin on September 4th and continue on Wednesday evenings throughout the month of September. Events will alternate between UNC's XC trails adjacent to Finley Golf Course and Duke's Al Buehler Trail, with at least two distance options offered each evening. Note that for 2024 we're modifying the Finley course layout to eliminate the heavily eroded uphill and downhill sections on the red loop.
