The Shakori 40 is hosted by Without Limits and Gypsy Rider Productions, both with a deep appreciation for music. We’ll keep the energy high day and night with classic rock favorites and Woodstock-era gems—some you know by heart and others you’ll discover for the first time. We also feature two live bands: one on Friday night and another on Saturday during the race, enhancing the Shakori vibe and spirit.

This musical atmosphere ensures an unforgettable experience for runners and visitors alike. If you’re not running, you can purchase a non-runner ticket and enjoy your complimentary beverage at the Shakori Barn while taking in the sounds and scenery. Check out the list below for bands we’ve showcased in the past. Our 2025 lineup will be announced soon!
