Shore2Shore : Happily Running
Shore2Shore is a point-to-point trail event on April 17, 2027 in East Islip, NY, running the full length of the Suffolk County Greenbelt Trail from Sunken Meadow on the north shore to Heckscher State Park on the south shore.
Distances:
- 50K
- 25K
The course uses mixed surfaces including singletrack and wider trails, sections of road and bike path, and several road crossings. The 50K accumulates about 1,200 ft of elevation with most climbing in the northern 10 miles. The 25K has far less climbing and a generally net downhill second half. The route is marked with pink flagging and the Greenbelt's white blaze system.
Logistics include parking at the finish and bus shuttles from the finish area to each start; bibs are distributed at the start area rather than at bus pickup. Packet pickup is available at Smithtown Running Co. on the days before the race and also on race morning at the start. Five staffed aid stations appear along the course, stocked with Skratch Labs, PB&J, snacks, fruit, and drop-bag service for 50K runners at AS3 and the finish.
As part of entry, participants must log two hours of volunteer or trail work for the Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference or donate $20 or more in lieu of hours. Live tracking will be available on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
