Shortest Day of the Year, Longest Run of Your Life
The event on December 19, 2026 in downtown Winston Salem is an unstructured running day with no set distance and no podium. Participants decide their own goal and pace while running on streets and greenways near 15 Brookstown Ave. The organizer describes minimal course marking and no pace groups or road closures.
A central home base provides aid, fuel, hydration, and a place to regroup between efforts. The aid station is available to participants throughout the event. Activity takes place from sunup to sundown, with runners free to run multiple efforts or one continuous outing.
Registration opens on September 1, 2026 at 10:00 and closes on November 30, 2026 at 23:59. The registration fee is $40. Registration includes a limited edition finisher's T-shirt, access to the central aid station during the event, and event-day perks.
The event emphasizes self-directed distance and time on course rather than competition. The central location and supplied support are the primary organizational features described. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
