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. 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 kid's summer camp and community programming. Activities are at the Woodland Center and in the field behind. The Woodland Center is the first building on the left when you come through the gate. Parking at the Center and on the pipeline just before.
