Dahlgren Heritage Rail Trail 50K

The Dahlgren Heritage Rail Trail 50K is a challenging ultramarathon held in King George, Virginia, on August 2, 2025.

The out-and-back course offers solid footing with minimal elevation changes, making it fast and smooth.

Runners face the added challenge of August heat and humidity, with aid stations providing hydration and nutrition, including Hammer Nutrition products.
