Long Life Meal Prep Cannonball Running Festival
The Long Life Meal Prep Cannonball Running Festival is scheduled for October 16 and 17, 2026 in Greensboro, North Carolina. All events start and finish at Country Park and use the A and Y greenway as the primary backdrop for the courses.
Race options across the weekend include:
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K held Friday evening
- Kids Dash
The festival offers a Double Barrel Challenge that pairs the Friday night 5K with a Saturday race option, allowing participants to complete two events across the weekend. Double Barrel Challenge finishers receive two custom finisher medals plus additional recognition for completing the challenge. Individual race finishers receive a custom medal; the Kids Dash does not include a medal or shirt but receives event "goodies."
Registration details note a runner long sleeved shirt and race snacks and a post race meal. Participants aged 21 and over receive two craft brews included with registration. Local breweries pour on Saturday and funds from beer sales support a charity partner. A shirt is guaranteed only for participants who register at least two weeks before the event.
