Bull Run Run 50 Miler

Clifton, United States • 4 Apr 2026

Bull Run Run 50 Miler is a 50-mile trail race held in Clifton, Virginia, at Hemlock Overlook Regional Park. The course runs through forested, rolling terrain generally paralleling the Occoquan River and Bull Run during Virginia’s spring bloom. A Civil War theme honors battles that occurred in the area more than 150 years ago, and runners pass through some of the East Coast’s largest bluebell stands. Established in 1993 and run by volunteers from the Virginia Happy Trails Running Club, BRR is one of the country’s oldest 50-mile events; the 2025 race marked its 31st running. It showcases rural Virginia scenery and community support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
