The Long Run - Fall Back
The event uses a give or take 5 mile loop around Jacobsburg State Park that mixes single track and flat gravel trails. The course has about 450 feet of elevation change and is run clockwise in this Fall Back edition, which reverses the usual direction.
Participants choose one of three options and may complete a single lap or as many laps as they can within a timed window. For a lap to count, it must be finished before the applicable time cutoff. The 5 mile option starts and finishes at the Equestrian Parking Lot.
Practical details include cupless support only, so participants must supply their own hydration. Coolers of water will be available to refill bottles between laps and before or after the event. The event is self supported for fueling; runners should bring their own food and fuel. Competitors in the timed events may keep a bin or bucket under 30 gallons near the start and finish for aid. There is no limit on crew or on-site support, and the course is described as spectator friendly.
Awards include a finisher pin for all finishers and sustainable medals for the top three in male, female, and non-binary divisions. The event is organized as a zero carbon event with an offset fee included in registration and accepts donations for local and national charities. A Trail Mix Fund offers registration fee waivers for eligible applicants and an adaptive athlete policy is available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
