Tactical Trail Running in Virginia
The Bull Run Run is a 50 mile trail race located within a linear park in southern Fairfax County, Virginia. The course follows a route that parallels the Occoquan River and Bull Run, featuring a landscape of forested, rolling terrain. The event takes place during the spring season, providing participants with views of local flora, including the largest stands of bluebells on the East Coast.
The race incorporates a Civil War theme as a tribute to the historical battles that occurred on these grounds more than 150 years ago. This long-standing event held its inaugural run decades ago, and the 2026 edition marks the 32nd year of the competition. Participants navigate the natural trails of Hemlock Overlook Regional Park near Clifton.
The event consists of a single distance:
- 50 Miles
The terrain is characterized by its woodland setting and undulating elevation changes. Registration for the event typically opens several months in advance, with a set entry fee for all participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
