Trail Race ● Music ● Camping

Run, camp and jam at Springmaid Mountain! The 5K and 10K trail races will amble through Springmaid Mountain’s 400-acre property with splashes through the North Toe River. After the race, stick around for bluegrass mountain music and optional overnight stays at the campground or cabins.

Race

The adventure and excitement of Springmaid Splash returns! Springmaid Mountain, sister property to the Anne Springs Close Greenway, will host this event. The beautiful trails of Springmaid Mountain combined with the event-planning experts from the Greenway will create a one-of-a-kind experience!

Runners will cross the North Toe River four times, so get ready to make a splash! Hang out after the race for live music, free breakfast and access to the Springmaid Mountain property. Rent a tube to float the river, fish in the stocked pond, or say hello to the horses!

FAQ

Our events run rain or shine unless there is severe weather.

While we never want to cancel a race, in situations such as tornado warnings, thunderstorms, heavy and persistent rain etc., we will need to cancel. Should we cancel, you will be notified via social media, website and email. There will be no refunds as that money has already been put toward the race.

Race registration is non-refundable. More than two weeks out you may transfer your race registration to another competitor or to another Greenway race of equal or lesser value. All transfers are at the discretion of the Race Director.

Please review our Race Rules prior to registering and participating.
