Sunset River Run

A beautiful valley. A tranquil river. A scenic route. A fun afterparty. Check, check, check and check! Welcome to the Fourth Annual Sunset River Run.

Sunset River Run takes place in peaceful Happy Valley, NC (between Lenoir & Blowing Rock). The 5K route is point to point beginning at Lapaz / Marshallberg Farm (3232 Indian Grave Rd, Lenoir, NC) and ending at Happy Valley Filling Station (1275 Highway 268, Lenoir, NC).
