Overview
With a field bigger than 72% of 50k races and smaller than 28%, the Woodside Ramble 50K - Winter brings a busier trail environment than most of its 2762 peers. Held in Woodside, CA, the December event has established a 10-edition track record dating back to 2015.
The trail route strings together Bear Gulch, Skyline Trail, and a loop along Wunderlich Trail beneath second- and third-generation redwoods. Aid stations sit between 5 and 8 miles apart, requiring runners to carry sufficient hydration and fuel to manage these longer stretches between checkpoints.
