🌳✌️ Welcome to Knock on Woodstock ✌️🌳
A far-out trail experience brought to you by the Upstate Race Series
Hey there, beautiful soul 🌞! Are you ready to tune in, lace up, and let your spirit run wild through the woods of Pleasant Ridge County Park? Well dig this—Knock on Woodstock is calling your name, and it's not just any race. It's a journey. A vibe. A loop of love, nature, and good energy, all in support of something truly cosmic—Camp Spearhead.
This groovy little event takes place at Camp Spearhead, a magical sanctuary that gives kids and adults with disabilities a chance to play, grow, and feel the love all year long. We're talkin’ horseback rides, crafts, new friendships, and all the smiles the world can handle. By running this race, you’re not just chasing miles—you’re sharing light and giving back to a beautiful community. Far out, right?

Where: Camp Spearhead – nestled in the heart of Pleasant Ridge County Park
When: Bright and early, 8:00 AM, baby

🌼 The Course, Man
Our loop is a 10K trail groove with around 650 feet of sweet, rolling elevation per lap. It’s got flow, it’s got rhythm, and it’s got over 90% shade so your chakras stay cool. Directional arrows will guide your path like the universe intended—but if you wander, no worries. Just trace your steps back to your moment of confusion and get back in your groove.

From Endurance Grid
About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The half marathon is the distance where you find out what you're actually made of. Long enough to demand real preparation. Short enough that it doesn't consume your life to train for it. Most people who run their first half describe it as the race that changed their relationship with what they're capable of. Once you cross this finish line, the bar moves. That's not a warning — that's the point.
Race day energy varies by event size, but the finish line feeling is the same regardless. Big races keep the noise going the whole way. Smaller races give you stretches where it's just you and the miles — and that solitude becomes its own kind of fuel.
The half marathon rewards people who show up for the boring training miles.
How long to train: 10–14 weeks. If you're already running consistently, 10 weeks of structured buildup is enough. If you're building from a casual base, give yourself 14.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
