Bull Run Run is one of the oldest 50 mile races in the country. The accessible course, reasonable entry fee of $125, and 13-hour time limit makes it an excellent first 50 miler. Please use the navigation menu at the bottom of the page to explore the BRR web site.

A contemporaneous map of the first battle, July 1861. This part of the map shows the entire course of the Bull Run Run as well as the scene of the battle itself. We have marked some important points on our course in red. The map was published in Washington in 1861 and comes from the Library of Congress.
