Tar River Running Company

Tar River Running Company. The cure for the common 5k. Or any race distance for that matter.

Why? Well, for starters, the organizer and race director is a runner himself. No one knows runners better than a seasoned runner. Michael Forrester has been running for over 25 years. He started Tar River Running Company because he has such a passion for the sport and wants to put on quality events for the greater North Carolina community.

With a Tar River Running event, you can expect superior communication before, during, and after each event. You can expect collaboration with sponsors to create an integrated community event. You can expect customization….custom web site, custom race bibs, custom awards, custom race swag. And you can expect to have fun.
