Shore2Shore is a point-to-point trail event offering 50K and 25K distances along the full length of the Suffolk County Greenbelt Trail on Long Island. The course runs from Sunken Meadow on the north shore to Heckscher State Park on the south shore. The next running is scheduled for April 17, 2027 and registration is open.
The 50K features roughly 1,200 ft of elevation gain, with most climbing in the northern 10 miles. The 25K has far less climbing and a net downhill second half. The surface is mixed: singletrack and other trails, short road sections, a bike path, and multiple road crossings. The route is marked with pink flagging and the Greenbelt white blaze system.
Distances:
