The 2nd Annual Bull City Race Fest will be held on Sunday, October 19th and offers a great experience for runners and their families. The event features a half-marathon, a five-mile race, and a family-friendly 1 mile race, with courses that wind through downtown Durham and its beautiful surrounding neighborhoods. But the races are just half the fun! Once you’ve finished hang around at the American Tobacco Historic District to enjoy the post-race festivities. These include:

A Food Truck Rodeo where you’ll get to enjoy all the delicious variety that Durham Food trucks Chirba Chirba Dumplings and Café Love who will both offer special deals for runners!
have to offer. Don’t miss:

  • An Octoberfest Beer Garden
  • A Kids Experience Zone where the whole family can get together for a great time.
  • The opportunity to check out the excellent restaurants in the American Tobacco Historic District and surrounding downtown area
