Noland Trail 50k and Relay
The Noland Trail 50k and Relay takes place in Newport News, Virginia, within The Mariners' Museum Park. This event represents the only race held on the Noland Trail. Participants complete a total distance of 50 km through a course format consisting of six laps around the trail, with short additional sections before and after each loop.
The event offers multiple participation options:
- 50k Solo
- 50k Relay
The relay option allows teams of two to six members to complete the six laps together. Between laps, participants can spend time in a dedicated area known as Tortuga. The race utilizes a staggered start system based on the mile pace provided during registration. This format is designed so that different waves of participants finish within a similar timeframe and to manage the number of people on the trail at once.
Participants receive access to the Mariners' Museum Fall Festival. This accompanying event includes live music, craft beer and cider tastings, and various activities. The race is located in a park setting that features the museum and natural trail surroundings. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
