Delaware Trail Fest

Delaware Trail Fest is held in Bear, Delaware, on October 17, 2026, put on by Uber Endurance Sports. The 12 Hour timed race starts at 7:30 a.m., and the 24 KM (14.9 miles) and 12 KM (7.5 miles) both begin at 8 a.m. In the timed event you cover as many laps as you can manage before the clock runs out, and your total is your result.

Pairing a pair of short trail races with a 12-hour on the same morning makes this a friendly place to test the ultra format for the first time. There is no distance you must hit, so you can start conservatively, walk the hills and stop when you have had enough. The 24 KM is the natural target for a runner used to half marathons, and eight to twelve weeks of trail-specific long runs covers it.
