Welcome to the website for the Bull Run Run (BRR) 50 mile race. Established in 1993 and put on by volunteers from the Virginia Happy Trails Running Club, the BRR 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.

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.

Please use the navigation menu at the bottom of the page to explore the BRR web site.

Like all of our races, the BRR 50 complies with the VHTRC’s Event Participant Medical Policy and Policy on Race Cancellation.
