Bull Run Run 50 Miler

The Bull Run Run is a 50 mile trail run that parallels the Bull Run and the Occoquan River in northern Virginia, just outside of Washington, DC. The course traverses forested, rolling terrain during the height of Virginia’s spring beauty. The run’s unique character includes a Civil War theme that honors the battles that occurred here over 150 years ago. The 13 hour time limit makes Bull Run Run an excellent first 50 miler. 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 run’s unique character includes a Civil War theme that respects the battles that occurred here over 150 years ago. The theme includes a competition between runners from the North and the South.

The BRR is a difficult challenge, but many have finished it. It is neither easy nor brutal. If you like to run trails, come enjoy a day in Virginia’s spring beauty as we honor those who fought here.
