Who we are

We are Matt & Amanda Kearney Owners/Race Directors of TRAIL:30.

We have been participating in trail races for a combined total of over 20 years. Since creating our first event in 2019 we have hosted 15 races and counting.

Our goal is to motivate people to exercise and socialize in the beautiful public lands of NC and VA.

Our hope is to promote land preservation, trail construction, and respect for all living things.

Thanks for letting us share our love of trails with you.
