ABOUT
Are you in it for The Long Run?
The Long Run will feature a give or take 5 mile loop around Jacobsburg State Park on a mixture of single track and gravel trails. The start and finish will be at the Equestrian Parking Lot. The loop has approximately 450 feet of elevation change. Those competing can select to run/hike the 5 mile event, the 3H or the 6H event.
Spring Forward is the rendition of The Long Run where the original course is run in it's proper direction. This course is run counter clockwise from the start.
In registration you will have to select one event. For a lap to count you must complete it BEFORE the time cut off at 3H or 6H. This is a runner, hiker, walker friendly event! Check in will be from 6:30AM-7AM for the 6H race and from anytime before 10AM for 3H or 5 mile race.

KIDS HILL CLIMB
We are adding a Kids Hill Climb this year! This will start at 1:30PM before we do 3H and 6H awards.
Kids will start from the start line, go down the hill to a turnaround point and collect an Easter egg, turn around and run up the entire hill to collect another Easter egg and run to the finish. The kids keep whatever is in their eggs!
If you are registered for The Long Run, your child can race for free. Please use code TLRKID to register your child. If you are not running The Long Run, please do not use the code.
No official timing or awards.

AID
We are a cupless event. You must supply your own hydration. Coolers of water will be available to refill bottles between laps or before/after the event. This is a self supported event, therefore we cannot provide fuel to all runners at this time. Please bring your own fueling.
Runners doing the 3H/6H event are allowed to have a bin or bucket less than 30 gallons in size for their aiding. These will be placed near the start/finish line for runners to stop after they check in for their lap.
No limit on crew or support day of event. This event is spectator friendly.
ZERO CARBON
This is a zero carbon event, meaning we take into account the emissions released in relation to hosting this trail race. The Running Kind will be subsidizing the cost to offset the event, however there will be an extra $1 added on to your registration specifically for this cost. This $1 will offset the carbon emissions for your personal travel to and from the event. We are excited to partner with Native Energy to support a carbon offset project we believe in.
In addition to going zero carbon at this event, The Running Kind will be collecting monetary donations for the Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center.
