2026 Redeye

Every participant came away with this year’s Furbutt Xmas ornament.

For almost each of the past 30 years, the northern Virginia area has seen a rocking start to a new year on the trails in Prince William Forest Park with the Redeye 50k. This is the first year that it has been under the direction of Leigh Weil, and she saw to it that the year got off to a great start! Of the 141 runners who signed up, a strong contingent of 81 braved the cold forecast and the blustery winds and came out to spend a very sunny and enjoyable day on the trails with the VHTRC.

Leigh has her report on the 2026 Redeye posted, along with the carefully compiled results and a number of photos taken by Leigh and Q of the participants on the trails.

Huddled together to fight the wind before the start. 😁
