Umstead Trail Marathon

The Umstead Trail Marathon is a scenic 26.2-mile race held entirely within William B. Umstead State Park in Raleigh, North Carolina. The course features a challenging mix of technical single-track trails and fine gravel bridle paths through dense woods, lakes, streams, and hills.

Runners benefit from well-stocked aid stations, enthusiastic volunteers, and post-race food. Participants receive a commemorative t-shirt and a pint glass finisher's award, while the top 15 male and female finishers earn unique handcrafted prizes. The event supports Umstead State Park and the Carolina Godiva Track Club, offering a rewarding trail running experience in a beautiful natural setting.
