The Experience
Set in the lush forests of Gregory, Michigan, Run Woodstock is a multi-day running festival that channels the spirit of the original Woodstock. Since 2009, this intimate event has drawn around 300 participants each year, with about a third returning annually. The weekend combines trail running with live music, yoga, and on-site camping, creating a laid-back, communal atmosphere that feels more like a gathering of friends than a race.
The half-marathon course winds through rolling, forested single-track, offering runners a scenic and shaded journey. The terrain is moderate—mostly rolling hills with some technical roots and dirt—making it a solid choice for trail newcomers and veterans alike. Every finisher receives a groovy peace-sign medal, and the post-run festivities include live bands and a festival vibe that lingers into the night.
