About the Run Kenan
The course moves through the middle of Kenansville, past historic landmarks, with rolling hills that give it enough texture to feel like a real effort without being a sufferfest. It is a road race through a small town, so the surroundings are quiet and the scenery is genuinely old and unhurried.
The race benefits international mission work through a local church, which shapes the atmosphere at the finish. Refreshments are out after the race, and people tend to stick around rather than scatter.
