Mill Ridge Trail Running Tour

Mill Ridge Trail Running Tour

Every guide on our team has developed an intimate knowledge of our national forest and can offer you an in-depth history to all the areas we run in. Originally owned by George Vanderbilt, Pisgah National Forest is the oldest of its kind in the eastern United States and holds deep historical relevance among several generations.

Though different than a hiking tour, our running tours accommodate any pace - even if you may consider yours more of a hike. It's also expected that we will stop several times for photos along the way.

Itinerary

Moments away from from the Hot Springs Resort & Spa, the Mill Ridge Trail Running Tour is a great all-seasons trip designed with newer runners in mind. Entirely on an old logging road, we’ll circle a tall ridgeline offering excellent views of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. In the warmer months (April to October), this trip is just 4 miles and the cool waters of the French Broad River are moments away. During the winter months, a closed forest service gate makes the trip 6 miles instead.
