After being cancelled due to Helene in 2024, this will be the inaugural trail run featuring the Lake Lure Classical Academy (LLCA) Fly Like a Raptor 5K and Fun Run. The course is challenging and technical and the LLCA’s very own cross country team course. It includes sections of the LLCA campus, Dittmer-Watts Nature Trails, and the Lake Lure Greenspace. NO PETS or STROLLERS are allowed due to the nature of the trails. All in all, this should be a fun new addition to the ROC Race Series!
