Welcome to the Quarry Crusher Run Concord! Do you think you have what it takes to run down massive declines into the earth and straight back up to the top? If you think you can challenge yourself to complete this feat, this is the race for you. This once-in-a-lifetime look inside a magnificent landscape that is prohibited to the general public will leave a lasting memory in addition to the aching of your muscles and bones. Unlike any other races, the Quarry Crusher Run allows private access into an exclusive landscape that will amaze each and every runner.

Once you’re in each quarry, the route will wind down an average of a 10% grade (expect as much as 18% in areas!) through granite cliffs to the quarry floor. The approximately 300-400 foot ascent from the quarry floor to the finish makes the grueling event one of the nation’s most challenging foot race.

New this year: THE DOUBLE CRUSHER! Challenge yourself by running the course TWICE. Can you handle it? Get to the bottom and find out!

This year's Quarry Crusher benefits Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Central Carolinas, helping children facing adversities realize their potential and build their futures.

Proceeds from the Krueger Reindeer Romp benefit our YMCA Annual Campaign and help provide life-changing programs and services for kids and families who need us most.
