    2024 Trail of Payne 5k, 10K & 1 Mile Fun Run 

    This years 12th annual Trail of Payne will have a 5k, 10K and a 1 Mile Fun Run (fun run is not chip timed) option at Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park. This is a pure trail race you wont want to miss! This run promises to be one of the most unique in the area, so take advantage of our beautiful state park during and after the race. 5K and 10K will share a start and then split off on their own unique course. This is a completely new course, so if you have run before, we will be starting and finishing in a different area. 

    We will start the 5k and 10k at the Wauberg Lake picnic area and dock. Runners will head out on a dirt road before splitting and entering the trails. 5k will run Jacksons Gap Trail to Cones Dike where they will turn around and head back to the start/finish. The 10k will enjoy a lot of the same trails as previous races, except in reverse. Expect every type of surface: packed dirt, roots, grass, soft sand and even a little mud. With trails that are winding & narrow, straight & wide, sunny & open or shady & dense, you won't be bored on this course.

    Bring your friends and get ready to go off-road were gonna get dirty! This race has the potential to be very muddy depending on weather leading up to the event.
