Woodstock Warrior

Woodstock Warrior takes place in Woodstock, Virginia, on September 19, 2026. Put on by GOAT Trail Running, the event covers a wide spread of trail distances in a single day: a 100-mile, a 50-mile, a 50K (31 miles), and a 10-mile, plus a Last Man Standing ruck for those who prefer to carry a loaded pack and see who lasts longest. With every distance sharing the same date, you will find both first-time trail racers and seasoned ultrarunners at the start.

Pick the 10-miler if you are new to trails and want a solid, runnable challenge without committing to an ultra. The 50K is a classic first-ultra distance, while the 50- and 100-mile options call for prior experience with long trail days and night running. For the ruck, weighted hiking and core strength matter more than speed. Whichever event you choose, build your preparation around consistent weekly trail mileage, practice eating on the move, and add climbing sessions to match Virginia's rolling terrain.
