Chapel Hill XC Trails

"Running wont kill you. You'll pass out first." -U.S. Marines

"Pain, not unlike death, is temporary." -Bhagavad Gita

"I'd already run until my feet were bleeding. As I leaned over the fence, my feet having left a red trail, vomiting like I had after every other interval. My coach walked up. I remember his words: "Get back out there, the snow's not that deep!" -Jim Ryun

Power Lines

Characterized and appropriately named by the sequence of power lines running north and south along its length, this trail is very difficult. It is literally uphill both ways.

Difficulty: High
Total Length: 0.9 mi
Sights: Joggers stopped on the side catching their breath.





Baja

A casual trail that hugs the banks of Bolin Creek. Watch out after days of heavy rain as sections of this trail can easily flood. In the summer months be on the lookout for the local lemonade stand. If you follow the trail to its easterly end, you will be rewarded with a view of the railroad tracks overhead.

Difficulty: Low
Total Length: 2.06 mi
Sights: Batmobile, Bolin Creek, Railroad Bridge


Teenage Wasteland

Very winding, you will encounter many forks on this trail. From Powerlines, this trail is entirely downhill, eventually meeting up with Baja. Watch out for bikers, as there is a set of moguls and jumps setup about halfway down.

Difficulty: Moderate
Total Length: Variable
Sights: Bike Moguls, Tree Archway, Washing Machine






Bike Trails

Even more winding than Teenage Wasteland. Unlike the other trails, you can definitly get lost here, but eventually you will either exit out onto Baja, Powerlines, or Seawell School Rd.
Difficulty: Moderate
Total Length: Variable
Sights:
