The Long Run is a looped trail event held at Jacobsburg State Park with two seasonal editions: Spring Forward and Fall Back. Spring Forward uses the original course run counterclockwise; Fall Back uses the same loop in the opposite direction. The event has been scheduled on November 2, 2025 and April 4, 2026 in the information provided.

Course, format and support

  • 5 mile loop
  • 3-hour time-based event
  • 6-hour time-based event

The course is a give-or-take 5 mile loop around Jacobsburg State Park, starting and finishing at the Equestrian Parking Lot near the Sobers Run trailhead. The loop mixes single-track and flat, fast gravel trails and has about 450 feet of elevation change. Runners may complete one loop or as many laps as possible within the chosen time event; laps count only if completed before the 3-hour or 6-hour cutoff.

This is a cupless, self-supported event. Participants must bring their own hydration and fuel; coolers of water will be available to refill bottles. Runners in the 3H or 6H events may use a personal bin or bucket under 30 gallons placed near the start/finish. There is no limit on crew or support, and the event provides a finisher pin for all finishers and sustainable medals for top three male, female, and non-binary finishers. The event includes a $1 carbon offset charge and collects donations for the Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
