Bull Run Run 50 Miler

The Bull Run Run is a 50 mile trail run within a linear park that generally parallels the Occoquan River and the famous Bull Run in southern Fairfax County, Virginia. The course traverses a forested, rolling terrain during the height of the state’s spring beauty. The run’s unique character includes a Civil War theme that honors the battles that occurred here over 150 years ago. A highlight of the race course are the stretches that take the runners through the largest bluebell stands on the East Coast.

Established in 1993, Bull Run Run is one of the oldest 50 milers in the country, and is put on by volunteers from the Virginia Happy Trails Running Club (VHTRC).

The BRR is a difficult challenge, but many have finished it. It is neither easy nor brutal. The accessible course, reasonable entry fee, and 13 hour time limit makes it an excellent first 50 miler. If you like to run trails, come enjoy a day in Virginia’s spring beauty as we honor those who fought here.
