Shakori 40 Running Festival

Get ready for an exhilarating weekend at the Shakori 40, where the spirit of community and the thrill of the outdoors fuse into one unforgettable experience! Nestled just outside of Chapel Hill, NC, the Shakori Hills Community Arts Center isn't just home to the iconic Music Festival; it's a natural haven where art, music, and kinship flourish. Brace yourself for a unique race through this scenic landscape with options for every runner: tackle the 40-mile or 40K open race, or team up for the age-graded 40-mile relay, where strategy meets sweat. But it's not all about the run –– immerse yourself in the full Shakori experience with soulful music, savory food, camping, bonfires, and, yes, a refreshing beer to toast your achievements. Mark your calendar for December and be a part of something extraordinary –– this is more than a race; it's a celebration of life!
