Build It…
This week has been a special one here at Windstone Landing Farms.
Will’s cousin Thomas has been here visiting from New Jersey, and when he helped us move here last fall, he and Will had one of those ideas that sounded a little crazy — but also kind of perfect.
They looked around at the land, the fields, the woods, the hills, the pond, the sunrise and sunset views, and said:
“We should build a backyard ultra here.”
And this week, they decided to make it happen.
Will and Thomas jumped headfirst into the woods, blazing and marking trails, following the natural deer paths where they could, clearing fallen trees, moving brush, marking turns, measuring distances, and figuring out how to connect the property from east to west and north to south.
It was not exactly a walk in the park.
There were tons of downed trees, rough patches, steep climbs, and plenty of “are we really doing this?” moments. But little by little, the course started to take shape.
And when it was all said and done…
A perfect 5K loop emerged. 🙌
The trail is laid. ✅
The race distances and times are picked. ✅
The weekend is chosen. ✅
Now we just need one more thing…
A name.
This race will be a natural, challenging backyard ultra run through farmland, yard, field, and woods right here in Pennsylvania. A large man-made pond sits at the center of the property, and the course includes two hills in the woods that are going to make runners smile the first time — and maybe cry a little later. 😂
Delivered Fresh Store and Stoic Strength and Conditioning are our businesses- we are family, and this event feels like a natural extension of all the things we love: hard work, community, family, endurance, the outdoors, and building something from the ground up.
So now we are asking for your help.

We can’t wait to share more as this comes together. For now, we are just excited, thankful, and maybe a little nervous about what we’ve started.
But sometimes the best things begin with a simple idea:
Build it.
Delivered Fresh and Stoic Strength and Conditioning are bringing a backyard ultra to Windstone Landing Farms this October. Stay tuned for all the details.
