Return to Lake Lure brings runners into the rugged beauty, steep climbs, fast descents, and scenery surrounding one of North Carolina's most iconic mountain towns.
Whether you're chasing a new ultra-distance challenge or looking for a hard-earned day on the trails, there's a distance waiting for you.
Lake Lure is a town in Rutherford County in western North Carolina, incorporated in 1927 and named for the lake the town acquired in 1965. The area sits in the mountains and has a mild, humid subtropical climate with warm summers and cool winters, so spring and autumn are the best seasons to race, when temperatures are comfortable and the hills are less draining.
