Women's Trail Festival
Williamsburg, United States • 28-29 Mar 2026
Women's Trail Festival
The Women's Trail Festival is a two-day trail event held March 28-29, 2026 at Freedom Park, 5537 Centerville Road, Williamsburg, VA. The program combines timed trail racing, noncompetitive hikes, educational talks, and exercise classes across both days.
Saturday includes a competitive ten mile trail race and a noncompetitive 8k hike, together with packet pick up, lunch and awards, educational talks, a group workout, and an afternoon social. Sunday features a noncompetitive ten mile hike, additional talks, and movement classes focused on strength and flexibility.
The ten mile course is a loop of a little over ten miles with varied surfaces: primarily single track mountain bike trail, sections of doubletrack, and some paved miles. The loop gains about 700 feet and includes rolling terrain with switchbacks. Aid stations are located along the route. The 8k follows the first portion of the ten mile loop, mostly single track and finishing with roughly one mile of doubletrack; narrow trail sections include roots and inclines. There are competitive and noncompetitive options for the distances and no set time limits on the listed events.
Entry fees include one race entry, a T shirt, one lunch, access to talks and exercise classes on both days, and a finisher medal. A portion of proceeds supports the Williamsburg House of Mercy and the Colonial Road Runners Scholarship fund. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
