The Edenton Peanut Festival Nut Run

Edenton Events, The Edenton Peanut Festival Nut Run
Event Description: 

Get ready to go nuts in Edenton! Join us for the Nut Run, an exciting kick-off to the 50th Annual Peanut Festival! Runners will enjoy a one-of-a-kind race experience through the scenic streets of historic Downtown Edenton and the rich farmland of Chowan County—home to generations of peanut growers.
