A Carolina Tradition Continues…
The Tar Heel 10 Miler Presented by CEP Compression Sportswear
Featuring the Fleet Feet Sports 4 Mile Run
In its 6th year, the Tar Heel 10 Miler presented by CEP Compression Sportswear featuring the Fleet Feet Sports 4 Mile Run is guaranteed to deliver an awesome Carolina Blue experience. Taking place on Saturday, April 20, 2013, this spring Carolina Tradition will cap out at a record 5000 runners as they create the ultimate Tar Heel parade from Kenan Stadium, through campus, downtown, and Chapel Hill’s historic, azalea laced and dogwood shaded neighborhoods.
SAME GREAT COURSE
The 2013 course features the best of Chapel Hill. Starting and finishing at Kenan Stadium on the University of North Carolina campus, the course will feature the best of downtown Chapel Hill along with the scenic and historic neighborhoods of Gimghoul, Greenwood and Laurel Hill. Make plans to join our Laurel Hill practice runs this spring created to demystify this legendary climb. (note: it is two hills with rolling in between) You’ll be ready for the Laurel Hill Challenge. This is a competition within the race to see who has the fastest time up Laurel Hill with awesome awards for this special category.
SPRING HOMECOMING
With its ACC focused collegiate spirit, theTar Heel 10 Miler gives alumni from all over the country a great reason to come back and visit Chapel Hill during one of its most lush and colorful seasons!
CRASH THE PARTY!
If that’s not enough excitement for you – the unique “Crash the Party” Contest continues! This allows runners who are affiliated with other (than UNC) ACC schools to represent their colors with custom race bibs! For the last 3 years the Duke Blue Devils have won the digital PARTY CRASHER CUP. This is a great way to make a statement in the Southern Part of Heaven and adds to the collegiate rivalry and comraderie of the race.
10 – THE PERFECT DISTANCE
The ten mile distance is a great way to challenge yourself if you’re used to running 5k and 10k distances; or, if you’re training for a late spring half- or full marathon, the ten miler is an opportune time to run a fast race before your taper. If you’re just getting started running, try the Fleet Feet Sports 4+ Mile Run – there is something in this race is for EVERYONE!
PACE TEAMS
Proaxis Therapy is the Official Pace Team for the race providing pacers to help you accomplish your goal on race day!
