No Man's 50K

Celebrate the power and spirit of women in trail running at the uniquely inspiring No Man's 50K Challenge on March 7, 2026. Conceived from a child's simple observation about the need for more women on the trails, this event, co-directed by a mother-daughter team, offers a supportive and empowering 50K and 25K adventure in Virginia's Prince William Forest Park. The course is a beautifully runnable 15-ish mile loop of mostly single-track, designed to be an ideal first ultra or a strong early-season test for experienced runners, with a generous 9-hour cutoff fostering an atmosphere of camaraderie over competition. With only 120 slots available, the intimate race creates a close-knit community where every participant is cheered on by enthusiastic volunteers, many of whom are the husbands, partners, and family members referenced in the event's playful name.

More than just a race, it's a statement and a celebration, born from a desire to create space and opportunity for women in the sport. The well-supported journey features five fully stocked aid stations and a course that is 70% scenic singletrack, allowing runners to focus on their personal goals in a uniquely encouraging environment. This is the perfect event to challenge your limits, connect with fellow trail sisters, and be part of a growing movement that redefines the landscape of ultrarunning. Lace up for a day where every step honors the vision of creating a more inclusive and vibrant trail community.
