The Long Watch

The Long Watch is an endurance challenge that takes runners through the heart of Donald Farm in Woodland, Washington, during a multi-day festival celebrating strength and resilience. Held alongside the Warrior Expo, this unique event offers 6-hour, 12-hour, or 24-hour formats on a scenic 1-mile loop. As night falls and the crowds thin out, participants find themselves immersed in a quieter rhythm, supported by a manned aid station offering snacks and encouragement throughout the dark hours.
The course weaves through the bustling Warrior Expo grounds, where feats of strength and medieval battles create an energetic backdrop for runners. Day turns to night as you loop past vendors selling tasty treats and athletes pushing their limits. The atmosphere shifts from vibrant festival energy to a solitary endurance test in the quiet darkness that follows.
Whether you're tackling your first ultra distance or venturing into overnight running, Long Watch welcomes all who are willing to stand watch through the long hours. This event is about refusing to abandon the course when others have gone home and the world has fallen silent. Join us at Donald Farm on September 4, 2027, for a night of solitude and endurance amidst the vibrant Warrior Expo festivities.
