Noland Trail 50K and Relay 2026

The Noland Trail 50K and Relay is a fall trail race held at The Mariners' Museum Park in Newport News, Virginia. Participants run 50 kilometers on the Noland Trail within the park, competing individually or as part of a relay team. The course consists of six trail laps, each preceded and followed by a short additional section. Individual runners complete the entire 50K distance. Relay teams, composed of two to six members, divide the six laps among themselves. Runners can gather between laps in an area known as Tortuga, contributing to a communal atmosphere rather than a typical point-to-point race. Participants also receive entry to the Mariners' Museum Fall Festival, which features live music, craft beer and cider tastings, and family-oriented activities concurrent with the race.
