Trail to Tryon Half Marathon
Trail to Tryon Half Marathon is a half marathon held in New Bern, United States, in December.
Despite the name, this is a road race rather than a trail run. The route heads through the historic downtown, passes waterfront parks and continues into leafy residential neighbourhoods. A 10K and a 5K share the same start and finish area beside Tryon Palace, close to the Trent River, and a virtual entry is available too.
Afterwards, runners and supporters gather at Bates Commons, where local vendors add to the festive feel of the morning.
The event sits at the end of the calendar year and is pitched as a last run of the season. Organisers encourage visitors to stay for the weekend and enjoy New Bern's holiday decorations, food and live music.

Good fit if you…
