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 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.
