Meet at Thunder Rock Campground parking. There is access to restrooms and water. The run will begin at Thunder Rock Campground and go along the Ocoee River along the Rhodo Trail.

Great for hiking, swimming and fishing - but even better for running. There are over 30 miles of trails with multiple river crossings and a forest dirt and gravel road that will take you 13 miles up into the park. Be aware though, there is no drinking water - bring enough with you. Restrooms located at Picnic area and Bristol Horse camp.
From the top of the dam through the campgrounds, this ~4 mile trail is paved. During camping season there is access to restrooms and drinking water. You'll find many runners here and this is where we meet each Wednesday evening!
There are roughly 15 miles of manmade trails shared by hikers and bikers. The entrance offers drinking water and restrooms. The paths are well worn, well marked, and totally in the woods. Be sure to keep an ear and eye out for bikers as they have priority on the trails.
There are many points of access throughout Murphy to this beautiful and well-maintained trial. The trail is approx. 3 miles and consists of dirt, boardwalks and some paved sections. It can be stretched to 5-6 miles adding the paved path in the Murphy Health Center area. Many areas to exit.
We want to continue providing a free event for the lovely community of Hayesville, NC.
This club is intended to bring folks together. We fully believe in our motto and welcome all -
Run, Walk, Stare at Lake...
