About the Red Apple Run for Diabetes
The course runs on the Cape Fear River Trail, starting from the Jordan Soccer Complex trailhead. The surface is trail, and the route follows the river, so the surroundings are mostly trees and water rather than pavement and storefronts. Both distance options are timed, and walkers are welcome in either.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local sporting goods store, with race-morning pickup available if you miss it. Parking is at the soccer complex where the race starts, and there is plenty of it. Awards follow the last finishers by a short window.

The Red Apple Run for Diabetes has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
