Edenton, NC

Get ready to go nuts in Edenton! Join us on Saturday, October 3, 2026, for the Nut Run, an exciting kickoff to the 51st 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.
