About this race
Shortest Day of the Year, Longest Run of Your Life
This ain’t no race. There's no set distance. There are no pace groups. No road closures. Minimal course marking.
Runners set their own goal. Runners set their own pace. A central home base will provide aid, fuel, hydration, and a spot to regroup between efforts. There ain’t no podium but there is nature’s clock.
From sunup to sundown, runners will take to the streets and greenways of downtown Winston-Salem with one goal: go farther than you've ever gone before.
Registration includes a limited edition finisher's T-shirt, access to the central aid station throughout the event, and event-day perks.
Show up with a goal. Leave with a new one.
