Tuxedo, North Carolina
Where mountain views meet lakeside charm
Join us for a breathtaking 10-mile run around the sparkling shores of Lake Summit, nestled in the heart of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, just south of historic Flat Rock, NC. This scenic course weaves along packed dirt roads through the quiet community of Tuxedo, offering runners a peaceful, nature-filled experience you won’t soon forget.
🌄 What to Expect
As you circle the lake in a counter-clockwise direction, you’ll take in stunning views of clear blue waters, charming lakefront homes, and the rolling backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, dressed in vibrant fall foliage. With 90% of the course on well-maintained gravel roads, it’s the perfect mix of beauty and challenge. A single short hill adds just enough elevation to keep things interesting — total elevation gain is approximately 575 feet.
