Chad Lovette Memorial Trail Run

The Chad Lovette Memorial Trail Run is a trail event at Cub Creek Park in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, featuring timed 5K and 10K runs, an untimed 5K walk, and a virtual run/walk for those unable to attend in person. The race is organized by Chad Lovette’s family and friends, honoring a Wilkes County native who cherished the outdoors, music, fellowship, and time with loved ones. The in-person races begin and end within Cub Creek Park, utilizing chip timing for timed events and QR-code result access near the start/finish. The event welcomes both new and returning participants, and the virtual option extends its reach to supporters elsewhere. Proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society via The Steel Magnolia’s Battle/Necessary Relay for Life Team.
