The Longest Day (100k - 50k - 26.2 - 13.1)
The Longest Day is an elimination-style trail event held at The Preserve at Lakewood in Greenville, SC. The course is a 2 mile loop over grass trails with rolling hills, open fields, and sections of shade across 120 acres of forest. Wildlife sightings are possible along the route.
All runners complete laps together. Each lap has a time cutoff that is one minute shorter than the previous lap; runners who miss a cutoff stop racing and may ring the cowbell, turn in their bib, and cheer on remaining competitors. Individual lap times are not recorded. Distances are defined by lap count.
Registration opens 2026-09-01 and closes 2027-01-05. The registration fee is $45. The first 100 participants receive custom race socks. Packet pickup is available before the race. Friday evening tent setup and overnight camping options are offered during registration.
Aid is provided at a simple aid station with water, Coke, ginger ale, pickles, cookies, and candy. The event is cup free; participants should bring a bottle, hydration vest, or reusable cup. There is no water or power on site. Participants may set up tents, chairs, and support areas near the start and finish to use during the event.
