Information About Race

The Johnston Woods Trail Festival is a 3, 6,12, and 24 hour trail race, We have a 6 hour Rucking option also. 2025 we are adding a 12 hour night option, hoping to get more runners out there at night with our 24 hour runners. We have had many races here before like a backyard ultra last runner standing 2 times, and a 12 hour race. This fundraiser raises money for kids summer camp and community programming.
