Rootrock Trail Run - 5K/10K/Half Marathon Race Description

The Rootrock Trail Run at Briar Chapel puts runners to the test with 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon of stellar single-track.  This popular, mid-fall, root-and-rock strewn trail run, is complimented by the Rootrock Mountain Bike Race, which is held the following day.
