Long Night In Lanford : November 21, 2026
Long Night In Lanford is a dusk to dawn trail event in Enoree, SC, organized by G.O.A.T. Trail Running. The format is a lap-based challenge on a 1 mile off-road loop around a farm and creek; the official finisher requirement is to complete the first lap at dusk and the final lap at dawn. The overall winner is the participant who completes the most laps by sunrise. The event lists no cut-off times and no speed requirements.
The loop begins at a barn on gravel, descends into woods, passes an open field along Beaverdam Creek, runs through pine trees and hay pastures, and returns to the barn. Runners should expect uneven terrain and wildlife. No strollers or pets are allowed.
Lighting and race control are part of the night format: competitors use personal headlamps and flashlights, while horn blasts signal key moments including a direction change during the night and the final lap at dawn. An aid station is available through the night offering snacks, water, and hot food, supported by volunteers and sponsors.
Logistics on the day include gate access and packet pickup before the event, and space for tents and crew setups. Post-race services include professional race photos, a hot breakfast at sunrise, awards for top finishers, and T-shirts guaranteed for registrations completed by October 15.
