Wildstride Race Series 10K Run/Hike

Wildstride Race Series 10K Run/Hike is held in Toano, Virginia, on November 8, 2026, starting at 9 a.m. The 10K, about 6.2 miles, combines running and hiking with bodyweight strength work along the way: participants cover a scenic trail while taking on low-impact challenges such as squats, lunges and push-ups. The format is open to every fitness level, with modifications available, and everyone who completes the challenge receives a finisher trophy and an official time.

Do not treat this as a straight 10K. Stopping to do strength work breaks up your rhythm and leaves your legs loaded in a way steady running never does, so the useful preparation is a mix: keep running two or three times a week and add a short bodyweight circuit after one of those runs. Then pace it by effort, not by the watch.
