Wildstride Race Series: 10K and Half Marathon

The Wildstride Race Series stop in Williamsburg, Virginia, takes place in the first half of April and blends bodyweight strength exercises, such as squats, lunges and push-ups, into hiking or running intervals. Two routes are offered, the Hikestrong half marathon (13.1 miles) and the Hikestrong 10K (6.2 miles), both starting at 9:00 AM on trails with several low-impact strength stations along the way. Weighted vests or backpacks are welcome, though no gear is required. The event is not competitive, but each athlete receives an official time and an award for finishing. The clearly marked course makes navigation easy, and light refreshments help sustain your effort.
