About the Wesley Woods Trail Race
The course runs from a camp lodge out along a gravel service road before narrowing and dropping onto a perimeter trail through the woods. The terrain is hilly throughout, with real climbing and long descents. Runners doing longer distances repeat the same loop, so the course rewards people who like to settle into a rhythm on familiar ground.
The race benefits a camp that hosts groups throughout the year, and that spirit carries over to race day. Hikers have their own start option and can join local guides on the trail. Awards go to the top male and female finishers in each distance, with no age group categories.

The Wesley Woods Trail Race has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
