This landmark running event showcases UNC Campus & Chapel Hill from every angle!

The 10 Miler has plenty of flat fast road along Franklin & Cameron while taking runners through the historic Rosemary district and downtown Chapel Hill. Make no mistake about it, this is the best running experience Chapel Hill has to offer, and arguably one of the best in North Carolina. It culminates with a finish at Kenan Memorial Football Stadium.

Fleet Feet 4 Mile Run
The 4 Mile Run course starts at the Bell Tower then takes South Rd westbound to Columbia Street and up to W. Cameron Avenue. After a beautiful run down tree-lined W. Cameron Ave, runners make their way to W. Franklin Street via Graham Street where they can take in the vibe and scenery of downtown Chapel Hill. Runners head down E. Cameron Avenue via Columbia Street to run past the Old Well. Next up is a loop through the beautiful Gimghoul neighborhood then, finally, an exhilarating downhill dash on Ridge Rd to the finish line alongside Kenan Stadium. Overall this course is friendlier (no Laurel Hill) and more scenic, and more popular than ever!
