Fonta Flora 50K and Half Marathon

The Fonta Flora 50K and Half Marathon is a scenic running event set in Lake James State Park, North Carolina. Participants can choose from a 50K, a half marathon, or a new relay option for the 50K, which allows teams of two or three. The course features gentle rolling trails with stunning mountain views.

The event promotes community support, with a portion of proceeds dedicated to trail development. A costume contest adds a festive touch, coinciding with Halloween weekend. The race is organized by Tanawha Adventures, which aims to inspire conservation and protect public lands through outdoor events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
