Friends of the Valdese Rec invites you to start 2023 (on Dec 31 2022) with a challenge and tackle the trails of Valdese Lakeside Park in our annual 5 & 10K trail runs. This year, we’ll have a new section of greenway and new trails to test you. Some of these trails are technical single track with roots and rocks and occasional ruts. There are also some good climbs and descents. One thing’s for certain, you won’t get bored! These are the only 5 or 10K trail runs in Burke County (that we know of).

Forget about setting your 5 or 10K personal record. Just come out to kick off the new year with a physical challenge!
