All of the Colors Trail Race or Hike

All of the Colors Trail Race or Hike is held in Charleston, West Virginia, on October 25, 2026. There is a single event on the schedule: a 4-mile trail race or hike starting at 2:00 p.m. That afternoon start is unusual for a trail event and gives you a full morning to travel, sort your shoes out and warm up properly before the gun.

Because the format is open to both racers and hikers, you can treat the 4 miles as a hard effort or as a walk in the fall woods. If you are sharpening up, the distance is short enough to run near threshold from start to finish. If it is your first time off pavement, trail shoes with real tread and a couple of easy trail outings in the preceding weeks are enough preparation.
