Edenton Nut Run

Join us for the Edenton Nut Run, a thrilling event set to kick off the 50th Annual Peanut Festival in vibrant Chowan County on Saturday, October 4, 2025. Participants of all levels can choose from a scenic 5K, a challenging 10K, or take on the ultimate Nutty Challenge by conquering both for a total of 15K! Run through historic Downtown Edenton and the picturesque peanut fields, soaking in colonial architecture and waterfront views as you breathe in the crisp fall air. Stick around post-race for a day filled with festival fun, including the Peanut Festival Parade, kids' sack races, and live porch music. Registration fees starting at just $35 for the 5K and $55 for the Nutty Challenge ensure there's something for everyone, with all proceeds benefiting Main Street Edenton for local revitalization and preservation efforts. Whether you're in it for fitness, fun, or the fantastic atmosphere, the Nut Run guarantees an unforgettable experience in Edenton!
