Dahlgren Heritage Rail Trail 50K

The Dahlgren Heritage Rail Trail 50K is a challenging ultramarathon held in King George, Virginia, on the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail. This flat, well-maintained, and mostly shaded out-and-back course covers 31 miles on a converted railroad bed featuring dirt, grass, pine needles, crushed stone, and small gravel surfaces. The race offers a scenic and fast trail experience with gradual inclines and declines, supported by seven aid stations providing water, Gatorade, and food.

Participants face an 8-hour time limit to complete the race, with cash prizes and age group awards. The event emphasizes environmental responsibility by adopting cupless racing and is supported by Hammer Nutrition for on-course fueling.
