About the Event

The Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Half Marathon & 5 Mile is North Carolina’s wildest winter trail race, held every January at Northeast Park in Gibsonville. This unique trail race has built a reputation for unpredictable conditions—over the years it’s been 85 degrees and bone dry, while other times it’s been 35 degrees with extremely slippery trails and even an uncrossable river. No matter the weather, this race delivers adventure, camaraderie, and a true “WTF” attitude on the trails.

Whether you’re ready to take on the Half Marathon, with two epic river crossings at the Reedy Fork River, or you prefer the 5 mile run or ruck option, you’ll find a challenge worth bragging about. And at the finish line, participants are rewarded with the signature perks that make this race unforgettable.

Why Run the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Half Marathon & 5 Mile?

Here’s why trail runners and ruckers keep coming back year after year:

January trail race adventure – A mid-winter challenge that embraces all kinds of weather.
Reedy Fork River crossings – Half Marathon participants cross the river twice for a true WTF moment.
Options for all levels – Choose the Half Marathon, 5 Mile, or ruck division and take on the trails your way.
Hoodie swag – Every participant gets a cozy race hoodie, perfect for those chilly NC winter mornings.
Finisher medal – Part of the North Carolina Trail Mega Medal Series—collect them all!
WTF bumper dticker – A badge of honor you’ll want to display.
Fun prizes & giveaways – Because who doesn’t love surprises?
Post-race food & beer – Refuel, relax, and celebrate your muddy accomplishments.

Race Experience

The Whiskey Tango Foxtrot trail race isn’t just about the miles—it’s about the stories you’ll carry with you. From slipping through icy mud to charging across rivers to laughing with fellow runners about the “WTF” moments, this race is built for those who love adventure and community.

Add in chip timing, live results, and on-course support, and you’ve got a professionally organized trail race with a personality unlike any other.
