Bull Run Run 50 Miler

The Bull Run Run is a 50 mile trail run held on April 4, 2026. The event is based at Hemlock Overlook Regional Park in Clifton, Virginia, and follows a linear park corridor that generally parallels the Occoquan River and Bull Run.

The course travels through forested, rolling terrain during the height of spring. Several stretches pass through extensive bluebell stands that are noted as a highlight of the route. The event also incorporates a Civil War theme that recognizes the battles that took place in the area more than 150 years ago.

The 2026 edition is the 32nd running of the race. Entry price is listed as $125 and the event is open to adult participants. The race notes a 13 hour time limit. The event is Trail Sisters approved and provides equal podiums and awards plus menstrual products at aid stations as part of that approval.

Additional race information covers parking, crew instructions, directions, course options for high water, volunteer opportunities, training runs, and results. The organizing club follows event participant medical and race cancellation policies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
