Top to Toe 5K
The Top to Toe 5K is an adventurous descent from the top of a high purity quartz surface mine to the bottom of the Toe River valley. Built for record chasers and families alike, this dirt/pavement road course begins at The Quartz Corp's Chalk Mountain and ends at Riverside Park in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. The race proceeds benefit Mitchell County Chamber of Commerce, NC Mineral and Gem Festival.
Each registered participant receives one free admission ticket to the Mineral and Gem Festival as well as a t-shirt!
This is a point-to-point race so participants will be shuttled from Riverside Park to the race start on race morning. Please note the last race shuttle leaves at 8:30am!
