SUMMARY:Jordan Lake Bald Eagle Paddles
DESCRIPTION:Join Frog Hollow Outdoors for Jordan Lake Bald Eagle Paddles along the northern reaches of Jordan Lake in search of its majestic residents. Jordan Lake State Recreation Area is considered one of the largest summertime nesting areas for Bald Eagles in the southeastern US. While they cannot guarantee a bald eagle sighting\, they can say that over the last handful of years\, they have spotted between 8 and 35 eagles on every trip that has run\, along with numerous other amazing raptors and lake residents. \nSCHEDULE \n\nSat\, Apr 26\, 8:30am-1:30pm. \nSun\, Jun 22\, 8:30am-1:30pm.\n\nAges 8 and up are welcome. Pricing can be found on the website. Trips take off from the Farrington Point Boat Ramp. \nKNOW BEFORE YOU GO \n\nAll guests will be provided with a kayak\, a personal flotation device (life vest)\, and a paddle. The recommended packing list can be found here. Guests will need to provide their own lunches. \nIntermediate skills are recommended; the trip distance can be up to 8 miles. They DO NOT recommend this trip to be someone’s first paddling experience. This trip is not appropriate for children under 13.\nAdvanced online registration is required. Trips may be cancelled if the minimum group size of 4 is not met. Please note that environmental factors may impact the planned curriculum for the day. Gratuity for guides/instructors is always appreciated. \nEstimating the time spent on water for river trips can be a challenging task. Numerous variables can affect the duration of a trip. A few considerations for this are water level and flow\, group experience\, managing a capsized canoe or kayak\, and other relevant factors. Guests may be asked to assist with the shuttle. Shorter distance trips can take 3–5 hours\, longer distance trips can take 4–7 hours.\nParticipants during winter months must wear cold-weather paddling gear appropriate for the air and water temperatures. Frog Hollow may be able to provide cold-weather paddle clothing to those who request it.

SUMMARY:2024 American Tobacco Trail 10-Miler
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the 2024 American Tobacco Trail 10-Miler Sat\, Oct 26\, 8:00am-5pm. Held in the early fall\, the race is a perfect distance for those tapering for a fall marathon\, preparing for the Tobacco Road Marathon\, or trying out a new race distance. It has been designated the RRCA North Carolina State Championship 10 Mile Event each year from 2008 to 2016\, the RRCA Southern Region 10-Mile Championship in 2017 and 2022\, and the state championship again in 2018\, 2019\, and 2021. Do not miss this rare opportunity to race on one of the finest\, most beautiful courses in the Triangle! \nThe American Tobacco Trail 10 Miler was created in 2007 to raise awareness of and support for the growing trail system throughout the Triangle and to try to have a minimal impact on the environment.\nIn 2018\, the race introduced a 4-mile event that is more accessible to runners in the area who prefer shorter distances.  The 4-mile race begins ten minutes after the second wave of the 10-miler starts and proceeds along the same course\, turning around at the 2-mile mark just south of Wimberly Drive. \nSeparate 10-miler starting times for women and men are used to manage the size of the clusters of runners on the trail. The women start at 8:50am\, while the men’s race kicks off at 8:58am. The 4-mile race will begin at 9:10am The 8-minute stagger between the women’s and men’s starts is part of a “chase” competition\, where the women get a head start\, the men follow\, and the first overall finisher gets a cash prize. \nBoth the start and the finish lines are on the trail at the White Oak Church Road trailhead parking lot. The race starts at the 16.75-mile marker just off the White Oak Church Road trailhead\, proceeds south five miles\, turns around at the 21.75-mile marker\, and returns north to finish at the same point as the starting line.  Aid stations with water\, Gatorade Endurance Formula (the official endurance sports drink of the ATT-10)\, and porta-johns will be at the crossing of Wimberly Road and Olive Chapel Road.
