The Long Run - Fall Back
The Long Run - Fall Back is a timed trail event on a give or take 5 mile loop around Jacobsburg State Park. The route mixes single track and flat, fast gravel trails and has about 450 feet of elevation change. The Fall Back edition runs the original course in reverse, with the loop run clockwise from the start.
Participants select one entry type at registration. Runners, hikers, and walkers may complete a single loop or attempt as many laps as possible within the 3 hour or 6 hour time limits; a lap counts only if it is finished before the applicable time cutoff. The 5 mile option starts and finishes at the Equestrian Parking Lot.
This is a cupless, self supported event. Participants must carry their own hydration and fueling; coolers of water will be available to refill bottles. Runners in the 3 hour and 6 hour events may use a personal aid bin or bucket smaller than 30 gallons placed near the start and finish. There is no limit on crew or support and the event is spectator friendly.
Awards include a race finisher pin for all finishers and sustainable medals to the top three male, female, and non binary finishers. The event includes a registration fee to offset carbon emissions, accepts monetary and item donations for local groups, and offers a Trail Mix Fund waiver for eligible BIPOC and LGBTQ+ participants. An adaptive athlete policy is available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
